Hello to all on this forum and especially to the newcomers who gain support from sharing of familiar pain and disruption that only those affected by addiction will truly understand. Kate 1, despite the total nightmare of your son dying, you are still offering support and comfort to those on this forum; ‘thank you’ doesn’t seem enough. Truly humbling.
Yes, our rollercoaster experiences of sadness, fear, pain, desperation and hope amongst many other emotions are shared by us all. Our loved ones are at varying stages at different times. What to say or do except to take care of ourselves as much as we can. The circumstances and consequences of my son’s addiction are permanently with me and my heart breaks with it all. I look forward to sleeping as that is the only escapism from it all. All so terribly sad. Please take care of yourselves and thank you for sharing. Love and hope to you all
