My son is on the autistic spectrum, has sever dyslexia, adhd, social skills are lacking and he has always had a serious anger problem, he didn’t have friends at school and I have always tried to protect him, he turned 17 and eventually passed his test and that’s wen it started, the friends came and used him because he could drive, it started with weed and then trialled a number of drugs and now at 22 he is addicted to cocaine, we have had years of major ups and downs and he still insists on going on benders, I am the end of my tether, don’t know how to help him, it’s a miracle he isn’t in jail. My younger brother went down this road and he committed suicide 2 years ago, I know by trying to protect him I’m not helping him (my son) but I’m terrified I will receive a phone call with the same outcome as my brother.

Hi Kerryjane,

I’m really sorry that you’re going through this at the moment, especially with what happened to your brother also.

Have you ever attended Al Anon?
