Hi to all the brave mums on this thread
The devastation these addiction cause is so sad
I like most of you are just getting through the days
It breaks my heart that our sons can destroy themselves
I am at my home with my son he is sober hasn’t had a drink for a good while now maybe six weeks I’ve lost track of the days really
He won’t drink while I’m with him
He has put weight on and has had 5 counselling sessions
It’s all very normal here but it’s a false sense of security
He can go from hero to zero overnight
He’s not working has a sick note until the 4/1
So there’s no pressure on him
We have been Christmas shopping
Visited a art gallery a Christmas market
Been out for meals with family
My partner even took him to a low key poker night last night
Which he loved
So he’s having a little holiday
Me I’m not sleeping the weight is falling off me my relationship is suffering
But I have to be grateful that he is ok
We have Christmas mapped out
I just want it to be over !
How can I get him to be on his own
It’s like having a cuckoo in the nest
His poor daughter is so unhappy
Not sure if I said this before
But her husband has left her with a 1 year old in favour of cocaine and a young girl
My son should be there looking after her
I can’t fight the fire on both these fronts
And now the Covid will probably have us all back in lockdown
I hope we can all find some peace over Christmas
And be kind to ourselves
Love and hugs to all x
