Hi everyone,
I hope things are okay. I think of you all and your boys every day. Ivy and Bump I hope that yours have somewhere safe to stay and weren’t outside in the freezing weather.
It would be great if dealers got tougher sentences and also if users were decriminalised and treated as the mental health cases that they are. After my mum got ill and started to improve she was visited regularly by a physiotherapist and occupational therapist and had home visits from her doctor over Christmas. She is 96 and the NHS was genuinely concerned for her and wanted to make things better – all of this in the worst pandemic since Spanish flu. If only our kids, still young and with a chance at having a future, got the same level of care from the health and social care system.
My son is still clean of heroin but using quite a bit of cannabis to keep it that way, and not venturing outside at all. He is more stable and I am hopeful for the future. I would love to hear how everyone else is doing.
