Hi, just read your full post after you answered mine. I read and wept for you. Guess you can love them, but not like them much, I think writing it down does help, I’m starting a journal, even if it is just for me. Make plans, look forward, sounds like you did all you could.

Hi thanks for replying, what’s so hard that he was a lovely blue eyed blonde haired little boy, as a teen people used to comment about how polite n well mannered he was, what went wrong? I’ve absolutely no idea, he left school got a job he enjoyed, then his behaviour became strange, mood swings secretive, he admitted to smoking cannabis occasionally, I have asked him repeatedly what changed but have never to this day had a proper answer, then came all the lies n stealing small amounts of money, he lost his job through bad timekeeping, we didn’t find this out till much later, I guess I was very naive then but not now, I still love my son so much it hurts but I hate him at the same time, all I wish for this new year is peace and a break from all the stress and I know I cannot achieve this without being strong and putting my own needs before his, thank you again for replying, be strong and follow your gut instincts x

I so feel for you, I have been going through the same situation, it is so hard to see your beautiful boy destroy themselves. I don’t know how to keep strong, but trying to find the acceptance that this is their choice and it is nothing that you have done. We have tried to help our son for the last three years, I thought that when we found out I could fix it, how naive I was then, it doesn’t matter at all how you feel they have to do it for themselves and I really am sad to say for my son I think it is far too difficult I just hope one day he proves me wrong. Try and stay strong you ate not alone. X
