Sorry to read these stories the abuse we suffer is unreal.
My son left the house on new years eve doped up on valium.
We kept trying to get hold of him and finally a police officer answered his phone he had been found y them and wa in a bad way Nd said I shld come to him as hey have called an ambulance.
I arrived to find him unconscious on the floor with 6 police officers.
Ambulance took an age…a 2 hr wait for a ambulance round our way!
I then spent some time in an ambulance with them trying to stabilise him in some way..I thought as he want I initially blue lighted he was ok.
They then took him to hospital and I followed in my car.
I was put in the same relatives room I waited to hear my dad had died in so that really pushed me over the edge.
When I kept asking for an update I was told he had a 50/50 chance and wasnt in a good way. They were reviewing putting him in a and e. They let me into his room to be with him no signs of responsiveness and so did a brain scan. After many hrs he opened his eyes for a few seconds and then again and said I love you.
Then back to unconscious after a while of this and me knackered I came home and theh said they wld update me they didnt but allowed my son to call me…I shldnt be surprised but he actually kicked off on the phone! Totally berserk at why he was in hospital.
I have told the drs we cant allow him home because of his brother and obviously us as he needs to have supported living.
So let’s see if years s of seeking support so far has been futile.
My son has just called again..talking about discharging himself.
So another happy start to the new year…
To the lady who said your son says you need therapy…he is gas lighting you..its a form of emotional abuse. Our addicts love doing that to us.
