Hi Spottydog

Welcome to the forum. I’m sorry to read your sad post. If you read the other threads, you’ll realise that we’re all affected in different ways by our loved one’s addictions.

Its so difficult to talk to anyone as you feel a sense of shame.

I don’t have all the answers unfortunately, but there’s a lot of good advice and support from others in similar circumstances.

The priority is you and supporting your children. So sad that they have been affected. I know my daughter is affected by my son’s behaviour with drink and drugs, it gets her down but she’s a bit older.

I hope you all get the help and support you need soon.

Take care

Thank you Lindyloo, I think just having an outlet where I can share, listen, maybe even help others too will be good for me, and learning how to best support my partner and my children. Learning about the different stages of addiction has been useful.

Thank you xx

Spottydog, on a more positive note , 4 weeks ago I was really upset and sad with my sons behaviour. Fortunately in the last two weeks, he’s been in aa and ca online and a a couple of face to face meetings. He’s been in contact with his original sponsor and it’s good at the moment.

Fingers crossed it will continue.

It’s so difficult, as you feel you’re walking on eggshells most of the time.

I’ve learned a lot on the forum, people are so helpful and friendly.

Check out Danman83 posts. He’s is a person in recovery and gives a lot of good advice.

I find little 5 minutes of meditation in Google resets me, for the day or night.

I hope you find the peace and support you need.

Take care
