So, my son has been picked up by his uncle who he is close to and has been taken there for a bath and fresh clothes. Last night and the night before he slept on the streets. Last night his dad picked him up, but got a lot of verbal abuse and anger , he even accused the family of abuse and wanted to know the reasons for our marriage split 18 years ago. I received many texts, although not abusive were very rambling and long about his ADHD and he self medicates with cocaine. He is very angry.
I’m reading all of this website and most of the stories has made me cry. a lot of addicts rely on emotional manipulation for money for drugs, with loved ones giving into demands and then for the spiral to continue, continue to prison, homelessness, hospital and even death. Addicts recover, then get worse, get better, then get worse in repetitive patterns over and over and over again. Loved ones end up in debt, emotional turmoil for life, relationship breakdown, and family breakdown.
No wonder drugs ruins lives, its a business run on emotional manipulation, threats, violence and lies, and I am not going to be part of it. My son will end up dead, I know this and I have begun mentally preparing myself for this. No amount of helping, no amount of money, no amount of support will help.
I’m pretty angry today….
I’ve said no to my son coming to live with me – right or wrong, it is one of my lifes hard decisions and I stand by his regardless of anyones opinions or judgements.
I’m really angry today…
