It is so lovely to be reconnected with you all. I am thrilled that your son is continuing to successfully battle his addiction, I have tonight gone back and read through this thread and it made me shed a few tears. I hope all of you other mums are finding yourselves in much stronger positions and hopefully your loved ones too. My son, now 26 moved back home in June after he had not paid rent and began using on his own in his flat, he came back and cried (again) bit this time I didn’t bail him out but I did speak to the dealers he owed and basically said he can set up a payment plan or take him to court, of course they opted for the plan. He thankfully has held down his job and has the most amazing boss who understood. He is now 6 months clean and I feel like I have my son back. His MH is not great but he recognises this and is trying to work on it with a counsellor.
I stand by every word of button boys advice.
Thank you all of allowing me to wallow, offering words of comfort, and just being there anonymously understanding my plight. Take care all of you xxxxxxx
