Hi Jem
I’m glad you have a friend to stay with maybe when the dust settles your partner and your son will calm down
It’s awful being torn between people you love
Where is your son getting his sleeping tablets
GP are reluctant to give them especially if other drugs are involved
Our boys are a terrible worry
I know my son was using the alcohol to blank everything out
I got to my wits ends
and told the dr he was suicidal and self harming which is the only way he got some help
The hospitals just patch them up and send them out
It took a while for him to get a referral
But in that time i wrote him a list of all the traumatic things that had happened to him it really helped him to see he needed help
The counsellor told him he hadn’t processed anything and started working through them with him
I not sure if he will get better any bump in the road sends him into a flap
Please look after yourself
It takes such a toll on us
I weighed myself when I got home
It’s a great diet being continually stressed
I am so grateful for you and the other mums who post on here
We all know what we should do but doing it is very hard
Take care
Love Joanie x
