Hello everyone, hope your Sunday is a good one.
I have spoken to my son on the phone twice in the past two weeks. He was polite during the first call and we talked about Christmas plans. On the second call he sounded drunk. He wanted to tell stories of his week on the streets, but I just can’t listen anymore. He asked for money and I gave him £20. The sadness of the situation hangs over me too much of the time. I’m taking a break.
I’m a little scared too, because if my son did say he wanted to try and turn his life around. I’m not in a place where I feel I have the energy to help. I’m still exhausted a lot of the time. He can no longer come to my house, and it hurts that the relationship is so broken. My only son and I can’t trust him.
Lindyloo Im glad your son is making good progress. Sounds peaceful.
Bump, It’s so hurtful when they behave so selfishly. I think you are an amazing mum doing the best you can.
