Im on a FB page for parents with addicted kids..I dont comment, purely because I dont want friends knowing my business…..BUT, the message that is clear as day is to stop doing anything for them…..I have been guilty of still letting him come to mine for tea. lunch but not if he has taken anything….My son wants me to send him a postal order for Prison, but I wont…..Ive written, and explained briefly, but what I really need to do is tell him how his addiction has effected us…what he has stolen, how his lies effected us and me as a mother…..thats going to be hard for sure…. He has already put out a hand for help, and I hope when he gets out he continues…. Sad and tired..you are a remarkable mother, pulling away does 2 things….1- gives you back some of your independance from your son and 2…. lets your son know its his choice……… Im not saying give up on him, far from it, bu offer that support when he is ready…..hugs to you all xxx
