Ivy , I think you have done the right thing , you are doing a wonderful job and now you need to put yourself first , and find your own strength , your son is making his own decisions , and although we all do it – bailing them out every time it makes it longer for them to reach ‘their own rock bottom ‘ From which to climb from – although with your son and him overdosing I think specialist help is required.
Where does he live ? Would he go to a doctor? To get a substitute?
Anyone he respects that he could talk too ? Have you (although it sounds silly ) actually taken a photo of him and how he looks when he’s Off his head and printed it out for him to see how he looks .
With my son , I showed him what he looked like in my car Front view mirror when he called my mum and said he couldn’t go on I went to him on the road ,he was crying and he sat in my car and we talked and listened and I showed him what he looked like in the mirror and how far he had sunk due to drink and drugs. I refused to let him come home while still taking them and he stormed off . He was living in a room so myself and his dad stalked the ‘room’ making sure he went back there and he did .
We as mums don’t have the answers and I wish I could give you a hug , but I can say you have done the right thing , if he can keep on relying on you to bail him out he will and it will take longer to get to the point when they’ve had enough of the addiction.
