Hi Joanie59,
Sorry you are going through this with your Son, but you have come to the right place to get good advice and great people who will always be here to help when you want to rant.
Lindyloo has given great advice and look on the Theresa thread, it’s so good to know we are not on our own.
Your right when you say people don’t understand unless they are living the never ending nightmare too. I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy.
Your Son sounds a good person and kind. If only they could see what they are doing to not only themselves but us too.
My Son is also an Addict alcohol and cocaine. He’s had a good week but by the look of him this morning he has let himself down once again. I am at the stage where I don’t really know what to say to him anymore, but instead of getting angry, I just try to be normal (whatever that is), by getting angry it just puts me in a place where I don’t want to be, so the housework is getting done very quickly today.
Please know that you are not on your own, take time for yourself and keep in touch on here.
