Hi everyone
It’s seems the addiction services are not great wherever you live Mums seem to bare the brunt of trying to keep our children as ok as they can be
I have being struggling
My son came home for Easter
We had a lovely family meal with my other son and his family
However the day after my partner tested positive for Covid
My son decided to go home as he needed to back at work and didn’t want to travel if he too got Covid
That was Easter Sunday
I got it on the Monday and so did my son
He wasn’t too bad and was able to work from home
We spoke everyday and he seemed fine until the Friday
He finished work early he rang me and I knew this was it he was going to start a session of drinking
He probably had already his attitude had changed he was so cocky and dismissive
My other son who is asthmatic and got Covid and his wife
My son said oh I can only worry about myself
He said he would ring me the next day
He didn’t
I couldn’t get hold of him all day
I text him had nothing back
He rang me at 6 totally drunk
I was already feeling so poorly
In bed
I just said ring me when you are sober
His mobile was out of battery on the Sunday
I spent the day ringing his land line
Finally he answered he couldn’t speak
Just groaning down the phone
He must have knocked the landline off so after that it was continually engaged
I decided to ask the police to do a welfare check they refused
He has had breathing problem in the past
And pneumonia so drink with Covid
Really worried me
I called an ambulance about 7 pm
Hadn’t heard by midnight so re rang them
I was still trying the landline and finally
Got through to him
He was sober but didn’t know what day it was
He said he was ok and asked me to cancel the ambulance this was now 2 am
My phone was ringing at 8 he said he was in hospital with breathing problems
He said oh it’s all down to the Covid
Which it isn’t it’s him lying in bed drunk for 48 hours
I cannot bring myself to speak to him
He’s phoned his boss and daughter to say the Covid has put him in hospital
All out for the sympathy vote
Me I’m still in bed poorly
So I feel like I’m back to square. 1
I can’t go on with this
I suppose it’s a bump in the road but I’m at my wits end
Love to all
