Thank you for your comments.I know the feeling of thinking you may have done something wrong. I often questioned myself but not any more. I know deep down it isn’t my fault that my son made the choices he did. He has told us he doesn’t blame us that he only has himself to blame. I think guilt must be a mum thing! I know there are people who feel we should walk away and leave them to it. It’s their “choice” to ruin their lives but it shouldn’t ruin everyone else’s etc, etc. I often think the people who say these things don’t really have a clue what it’s like to have a child…even if adult…who is addicted.They don’t understand the grief you go through. At the end of the day we have to live with ourselves and the choices WE make. We choose to not walk away and we too have to live with whatever consequences arise from that and that’s not always easy either. I wish you and your family well and hope you can stay strong in supporting your daughter and not let all the stress come between you. x
