Hi I hope things are as okay as they can be. My son has been away for over a week staying with friends. He stormed out after we had a difficult conversation about renting flats. It felt like such a weight was lifted especially as he was going to stay with people that don’t have the same problems he has. While he was away I started to feel normal again and didn’t dread waking up in the morning. Today he came back and our first conversation ended with him asking me to leave his room because of something I said. I had tried to not say anything inflammatory and just felt angry that he can feel so unaccountable while expecting everyone else to be perfect. I feel angry I’m back here with the worry and fear and relentlessness of addiction dominating every thought. Rant over, sorry.
Joanie – I hope things are better with your partner. Your situation sounds exhausting if you are splitting your time between your son’s home and yours. I can understand why you are doing that but it’s very tough on you.
Nannyger. I’m really sorry, I can hear the exhaustion in your messages. I pray that all our sons see the light at some point and turn their lives around. Take care x
Lindy – It’s really good that your son is doing well. He sounds amazing, I know there will still be bad days and you probably still worry like crazy but it’s good for us to know it can happen.
