Hi Tiredmam I’m so sad to read this and completely get why you are at your wits end. My husband says the same about hating our son and wishing he wasn’t born and we too don’t tell family or friends because of the shame and embarrassment. The sad thing is that this drug is so easily accessible for teenagers now and being glamourised by TV series. I work in an inner city School and know of several young and I mean young children who have been caught up in it by being groomed or involved in violence. Sadly our boys are the ones who are making these dealers rich at the expense of their addiction and lives. My son is 33 and it has got worse in the last 3 years(we only found out about the coke 3 years ago because of how bad his behaviour was in his marriage and that he was in so much debt) but he’s been gambling since he was 14 on fruit machines, then bookies and online, then the coke came in on nights out and has taken over his life. I’m praying with you for that miracle that they can turn their lives around and you are certainly not alone x
