i have to say ash that you’re a very brave woman, braver than me as the day i found out it was a case of you got yourself (and all of us who love you) into this mess and you can sort this now, yourself. I’ll be there to a point but it’s your responsibility. I then rang the ca and passed his details and they got in touch that day. his first meeting was the next day online. i insisted on daily then weekend drug tests and could not have lived another second with him on that stuff. thanks to ca being such an amazing organisation he has turned his life around. they teach them and remind them that their behaviour is the problem, not just the drugs. drugs are a small part of it on some ways.
you are very brave to have tolerated so much in the name of family.
I’m glad i stuck by my husband in a lot of ways, but like you… if i knew then what i know now things would have been very different.. and if kids weren’t involved id have immediately run to the opposite end of the earth.
but we are where we are and it’s an ongoing process dealing with the outfall and clawing our own selves back out from the wreckage.
i dreamed the other night i was trapped under a garage door and the water was rising, i managed to just get out in time. no prizes for working out thst meaning.
lindyloo, thank you for your posting… I’ve read a fair few posts here and can’t imagine how desperate it must feel to see your child in the grip of this addiction. thank goodness for ca xx
