Joanie – I think your mission for today is to go and find a hairdresser, a nice one where they take their time and give you coffee. I am also in Wales right in the middle, and drugs and addiction services are really not great. I have been trying to find out how many rehab places are funded by our local authority but everyone’s very tight-lipped. I really hope that your son keeps going in the right direction and that you can get back to your own life. You need to be able to go home for at least a few days at a time.
Nanny ger – I feel that all I’ve really done is enable my son, the alternative looks right in principle but it’s those small incremental decisions that allow this mad way of living to become the norm, then I guess it’s so hard to get normal boundaries back in place. I often think about what I would do differently if I had the last 6 years again, as I guess we all do.
Bump – I hope that your son has stayed in rehab and that you have some time to relax and get your breath.
