Sad and tired, its so bloomin hard, to let them get on with it and not give into them….I was his biggest enabler and when that lightbulb went on I stopped…..He hated me for it, but soon came around to the reality of “mum aint gonna fall for it”…I ve heard all the manipulating stories…..someones after him, someones going to kill him, hes going to kill himself, he owes money, bla bla bla..I just switched off, and removed myself from the situation… Yes I was there when he needed a meal, or wanted to talk, but that was it..Ive been called some terrible things in the past, and no doubt will hear them again……but I know deep in my heart, that this is a by product of the alcohol and drugs…….Im still not under any illusion that he will get through this and come out the other end…and IF he slips up then the counselling I am paying for will stop, until he gets back to it…Im so angry sometimes with the choices he had made I could burst, and the people he associates with are just as bad….Its so sad!!!!!!!!
