I hope that you are all having a relatively peaceful weekend, despite our sons and what’s happening in the world.
I’ve got my son settled in a flat in the city he was living and working in before lockdown. I have committed to 6 months and will stay with him for part of each week. He has promised to engage properly with services and NA, which are a lot more accessible than where I live. Today he has got dressed in decent clothes and gone to visit some of his old (non-druggy) friends, which feels like a big step forward.
I can’t go back to living with him just sat in a bedroom where I live but this does have an end date of September. I am trying to make him as accountable as I can for looking after the space here, so far he’s cooked for the last 3 nights which is a start.
I know this could end up being a waste of time and money, but I feel I have to try. If he doesn’t take this opportunity and work at it I will withdraw my support because I am not sure what I can do beyond this.
I know that this could end in disaster, but I need to know that I have tried.
