Poor you, you have really been through it. With all the help that has been put in, what can you do? My son is 22 I suspect he started using drugs at around 15 that seems to be when everything started to go wrong. He was selling his stuff, at 18 he stole all my jewellery and when I found out it was him he didn’t bat an eye. Its just got worse and worse to the point I have been stupidly paying his direct debits, trying to sort his budgets out over and over, only to have him ignore what I have done and spend every penny on drink and drugs. He has been beaten up, attacked by knife point, robbed, had clothes stolen, phones missing, money missing after nights out. People take advantage of him when he is off his face. He has been to court for different offences, mainly criminal damage, he refuses to even pay his fine, I could go on and on and on……I am sick to death of it all but worry so much when I don’t know where he is. Crazy isn’t it….much as I love him he is verbally abusive to me and intimidating, I don’t need this in my life and so when he decided he wasn’t going to turn up for work I told him if he lost his job, he was out, he lost his job so I told him not to come back until he was ready to accept the help I was offering to get him off whatever he was on. That was maybe 8 weeks ago, he is still not ready to sort himself out, don’t know if he ever will be, but I hope……xx
