Hi ….My son was twelve months younger than yours when i started going through this….we are now three years on and still going through hell…he too has a younger sibling (3) I have had to stand back from my son he was making me ill bleeding me dry of money and I was trying to juggler a toddler …working nights ….daytimes either visiting hospitals, courts, and finally y o ….It has taken me a lot of time to realise that until he wants help (and help does nt mean cash) i simply cant do anything and its the little ones and rest of family that are losing out…..I hope this gives you the strength to do what you feel is right for you because you can only do what you can manage mentally yourself…..As already been said your not alone xxx

As a mother, the hardest thing to do when your child is addicted to substances / alcohol is watch the downward spiral of despair in their eyes when they so obviously need their “fix”. It took me over 3 years to realise that I was his top enabler…..The lightbulb went on and I thought enough is enough. The empty promises, the stealing, the lying, and the abuse is hellish….My son first entered YO and did 2 stints in there..more like a youth club than somewhere where these young lads could get the right rehabilitation…Now at nearly 24 he is into his fourth day of prison…serving a 4 month sentence….What is really sad is that he had come to me prior to his sentencing, and asked for help……We had got him private counselling and he was really trying to get ahead….I can sleep knowing where he is, BUT, I also hope he thinks long and hard about how his life has panned out so far…..Seems all of us parents on here are and have gone through similar experiences. IF theres one piece of advice I took and would give, it would be DO NOT ENABLE YOUR CHILD TO CONTINUE TO DESTROY THEIR LIFE…..Make it as hard for them as possible, cause once they hit rock bottom, the only way is UP!!! Hugs and love to you all. xxx
