Hi Februarymarie,
Sorry to read your Son has relapsed, it’s very hard when this happens. My Son usually goes 3-4 days at the moment, then gets back on it, I am not embarrassed to say that I am really at the end of my tether with him. I have emailed DrugFam today and got a reply back straight away which I was really impressed with, I am having a 1:1 telephone conversation with them next Monday 26th, I’m hoping they can tell me where I’m going wrong and give me some ideas for the way forward. It’s been so many years with my Son being an Addict I honestly don’t think he knows anything else to do. I also believe that he has choices, and doesn’t make good choices because that is easier than facing up to reality.
I really let it get to me this weekend and didn’t get dressed or do anything (lots needed doing) for 2 days and I really don’t want to feel like that again.
Talking to him just doesn’t work, he gets angry and shouts, which doesn’t help anyone.
I am going to write down some boundaries and give them to him, at the end of the day he is living in my house so should abide by my rules, like them or not.
I hope your Son gets back on track very soon.
Take care.
