JEM, thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it. I don’t really have anyone who can help. My parents are elderly and not in the best of health, no sibblings, and friends not aware of what’s going on. The house is in my name only and I pay all the bills. My parents have offered to lend me the money to get legal advice to see if he’s entitled to anything. We’re not married, but I need to be clear, as I’ve asked him to leave before and he told me he’d only go if I paid him. He quite literally has nothing as he earned a lot less than me and his money mainly went on booze. He then begs me to stick with him as he has no one and no where to go. It’s heartbreaking. Therin lies the dilemma, I feel responsible for putting him on the streets to be abused/to die, or our little boy has to continue with it. I did wonder about contacting adult social services, to see if they could offer any advice on any help for him after I ask him to leave the family home? Although he isn’t well enough or coherent, so would have no ability to sort anything out himself. Otherwise I’m back to hoping he contacts the addiction centre, and he says I’m now pushing him too hard and quickly and he can’t cope. I think I’m going to have to stay strong and find a way to get him out of the house. If anyone has any experience of any organisations that can help with re-homing addicts after no longer suitable for them to stay in previous home I’ll appreciate it. I’m away of how terrible that sounds, but no way to sugar coat ???? I’m so sorry to hear about your son, I can’t imagine the worry and what you’re going through. You’re absolutely right, I know I need to find a way and fast to prevent my little boy being damaged (further) by it.
