My sons addiction has meant the end of his
Family life and loss of his job, his partner could not cope with his lies and spending of money needed to provide for his family.
I paid for rehab in the hope he could save his family life, he relapsed
So a very depressed son came back to live with me and his step dad, my son is 32 years old
GP put him on antidepressants, my son spent 5 months talking to me and CA
Life was improving, regular visits with his daughter, a new job and then ……
His partner started a new relationship and my son, with money in his pocket went back to cocaine and his behaviour had spiraled
A recent row between my son and husband resulted in my son moving out
He has since been living rough, my husband is disabled and needs my care for him, but I love my son and feel torn.
My son now tells me he’s selling his van to fund doing a walk as hid life is unbearable, and if it gets no better he will end his life, he often says this I get unbearably stressed by this.
Over the past 15 years I know I have tried my best to help my son in hindsight I enabled him thru total ignorance at times, but always in hope and love that things would change
I know addiction is an illness, I believe the breakdown of my married to his father the cause
But I am so very tired now.
