I am sorry you worried about your son I have been through this with a very close friend for 20 years of addiction this and I can assure you it’s horrible for us who love them. I am so glad he is getting help. I will say that if he is struggling financially and you do want to help if possible I wouldn’t give cash or bank transfer honestly I could spend all day writing ways in which the addiction turned him into someone I didn’t recognise with the stories lies that’s are so believable to us etc. I would help him but in ways that meant no cash. No enablement as the temptation to use when they have money is overwhelming. I really hope that won’t son isn’t, but instead I would do an online food shop and get it delivered, I would help out with bills but pay them directly for him. If your son is genuinely concerned with bills and food etc and not having any money as he’s struggling to find work he will be grateful for this. If he is using again he will try everything for you to send him money so he can have the money to buy drugs you will know. It’s really awful sad situation and I hope so much he is staying clean ans away from it but wanted to just give you some tips that helped me with my friend and take care of yourselves x
