Hi CazD,

Welcome to the Forum.

Your words really hit home and I remember the constant going on and on, they don’t stop unless we give in, and I like you used to give in all the time, but it’s not the right thing to do as I have learnt.

I think my Son (30) is playing at Recovery at the moment, he lives at home with me, he has a job which he earns good money from, so I don’t have to give him any now. My only thought about the money is why does he keep asking for money now? Is he still using? My guess is that the money is for this.

I think you have to be cruel to be kind, turn your phone off when he is on a rant, and I know this will be hard to do, but you have to start thinking of yourself.

Read the Theresa thread on here, there are lots of Mums, mostly with Sons who are addicts, it hopefully will help.

Keep in touch on here, take care.
