Hi Bump,
I’ve thought about this group a lot over the last few weeks but have been very busy with work and looking after my mum, so haven’t posted. I’m really sorry you’ve had Covid and that things are still really bad with you’re son. I think what you are feeling is completely sane, it’s your head telling you that you’ve got enough to deal with and need a break. I don’t think there is much that we can do for our kids when they are in angry and demanding phase. If you don’t look after yourself first you won’t be there to help him pick up the pieces when he is ready to accept proper help. Becoming totally selfish seems to be part of it and it’s so hard to accept. I think they completely lose perspective. My son sits in his room all day smoking weed, only really coming out at night when we have gone to bed but at least isn’t on hard drugs but it’s not much of a life.
I hope things are going okay for everyone else.
