Kate – as you’ve said, and we’ve all found out, there is very little support out there for families going through this. There are a few charities offering support. The one that fir me has been the most helpful is Drugfam. They have a helpline which I’ve called about 5 times over the last few years. I’ve been lucky and have spoken to people that have gone through all of this and it has helped a lot when I’ve been feeling desperate and alone. Give them a try. I have spoken to other organisations, I think this is probably the most helpful.
We are all here for you, the love and support on this thread is a God send. I’m not sure where I’d be without those kind words from people struggling in the same way. It breaks my heart to read your posts, another mum, yet another son. Please take care of yourself.
