I’m new to this thread. I’ve joined because my depression is making me feel suicidal…I cant face waking up. I’m on medication but it’s not helping.
My son is a Ket addict. His father was an alcoholic who died in his sleep when my son was five years old. We both have PTSD because of this event.
My son started taking Ket at uni – to fit in and socialise but quickly became addicted.
It has destroyed our once very close and loving relationship – now he is doing it daily and denying it. He is in his room most of the time, I wish I had somewhere to go but I don’t. My family are very religious and know nothing, his fathers family no nothing, my friends no nothing. I am totally isolated and lonely. I confronted him a couple of days ago and he became aggressive. I just dont know how to communicate with him anymore – he has told all of his friends and girlfriend that I am paranoid because of my dad – but of course I’m not. I see him the way others don’t and his girlfriend is very naive – she believes I am his ‘stress trigger’ because he told her that. So now she hates me and thinks I don’t help. I asked him to move in with her and I would pay – just to get him out of the house and so she could see the level of addiction I have to tolerate – but he won’t. The problem is he owns half of this house due to inheritance – I kicked him out a couple of times last year but he came back. I am grieving for my beautiful blonde haired,blue eyed little boy. I don’t recognise him anymore.
The advice I want is this – he is leaving to do his MA at the end of the month. How do I get through these next few weeks? Because believe me, every minute right now feels like a year and I am sinking fast. Please help me.
