Hello Jenny,
Thank you for your words. My son and I have been through all of those stages. He didn’t start out as a heroin user.
He currently lives on the streets. Under bridges, car parks, sometimes other random addicts take him home, occasionally a hostel or prison cell.
He has seen numerous Doctors and has tried Subutex a few times. There is no specialist help available. Well none I can find. His father died suddenly of cancer 12 years ago, I’ve been on my own with him ever since.
I bought him a flat in between my own house and my mothers house. We checked in on him every day for two years. The dealers took over and he got worse. He moved in with my mum for a year and we tried to get him to the chemist every day. Dealers on the prowl . I’ve been trying to get him off of drugs for years, nothing has worked. Our story is on a thread somewhere, doesn’t make for light reading!
Thank you so much for your thoughts and concern Jenny…
I’ll take that hug thanks!
