So I’ve just been woken up by smoke filling the house as my addict son has set fire to his drawers and tv! He’d lit joss sticks to mask the smell of the weed he was smoking in his room but was so out of it he didn’t register the fire. I have no idea what to do or where to go

Hi Looley

Sorry to read about your situation.

I’m sure you’ve already warned him that this was a dangerous situation and it could have been much worse.

I think you need to confront him about the consequences of his actions. If he’s making these choices now, I’d be worried that he would try harder drugs next.

How old is he? If he’s younger, you might be able to nip it in the bud, if hes older, and working, you could perhaps say if he continues this behaviour, he’ll have to look for somewhere else to stay. Either way, I’d be making a stand.

My son has been dabbling since he was 15, it’s escalated to cocaine and hes now 28. It’s been a nightmare these last 13yrs.

I wish I’d noticed earlier, so many lies, manipulating, selling stuff.

I wish you well, read the other threads, there are many mums with sons with addictions.

Take care

Lx
