I feel so much for you as I’m in a similar situation. I thought my son who has just had his 30th birthday had finally turned his life around and was shocked and saddened to discover yest that he has been in court for forging a cheque, which luckily was stopped and not for much money, to get money for drugs. I just can’t understand why he does it. He had a good upbringing and nobody else in the family has done anything like this. I’ve had about 14 years of it now. I’ve helped him so much over the years and each time I think he is on the mend it all goes pear shaped again. He’s been homeless, had jobs and relationships but lost them all. He just never seems to learn. He’s due in court again soon and I fear he will end up in prison. Drugs have ruined his life and made my life a misery, turning a sweet boy into a criminal! I feel so ashamed. I even moved after 33 years in my house to another place so neighbours don’t know and I don’t feel such a failure. It’s so hard turning your back on your son so I try to see him once a week or so but can’t believe a word he tells me now.
