Hello everyone and thank you Mammyessex for asking after my son.
He is doing okay. He is well looked after but life is still a real struggle for both of us.
He is now very aware of the level of his disfigurement and disability and this is causing him untold grief. We are waiting to see if there will be further surgery to help with his skull . He is still on methadone though his addiction is still very much on everyones mind. He has some terrible breakdowns where all he can think about is using again.
Very difficult times, but he is alive and there are times now that include serenity and even a little joy which I haven’t experienced for years. I’m just taking life , well I’d like to say one day at a time, but realistically it’s more like a couple of hours at a time. The brain injury has left him very confused on top of everything else.
I often log in to catch up on all of your stories, sadly most of them resonate with what I have already gone through which makes me say ” what a remarkable group of strong ladies we are to keep it together through this journey of addiction and recovery ”
I hope that more peace comes into all of our lives, especially for our loved ones.
Love
