Hello to Everyone on this thread who has shared their stories. Yes, all have a common theme and variations on what is going on in our sons’ lives. Sadly, I had to find the strength to make the heartwrenching decision to say goodbye to my son, his actions and behaviours were totally destroying me. I was enabling him with constantly giving him money, buying him food and doing his washing. Work and studying belonged to the distant past and I had to endure the agony of prison visits and child protection meetings. I continue to hope and pray, that is all that is left now but my heart is full of pain. I truly hope that you and yours find some peace and that addictions can be overcome /supported. It is impossible for people to understand unless they have experienced the nightmare of it all and the catastrophic effects on the addict and their loved ones. No-one at work knows anything and only a couple of my very closest friends. Hope and peace to you all. Thank you for your shared stories which help to relieve the isolation of it all
