Hi Georgie
I’m so sorry you are going through this with your son
They really don’t know the truth from fiction
And trying to reason with drug or alcohol
Addled people is an impossible task
I know what it’s like to juggle all those balls pretending everything is ok while doing normal things like the wedding and the meal
Is a pressure cooker waiting to explode
This site is great for venting all the things you want to say to your son
But can’t
I’ve have said some awful things to my alcohol son
They make you into people you don’t recognise
And then when they are hurt or in trouble
Or done something really bad
Your go back to help them
My son got caught asleep in his car 4 and half times over the drink limit
He wasn’t driving but he had the keys
He had to go to court and ask me to write a character reference for him
I sat with that piece of paper and couldn’t think of one good thing to say about him
He hired a barrister because he thinks money can buy everything
He was definitely facing jail
I wrote a pack of lies
He evaded jail
He lost his licence
But walked away
Is he still drinking …. Yes 4 years later
I hope things get better for you
Try to hold on to who he was before the drugs
You have the right to have a life
These are adults that we are dealing with
The post on here are very helpful
Take care of yourself
Hugs
Joainie
