Hi everyone, I have been dealing with my sons addiction now for about year and half but past few weeks it’s been bad and I have found out he has been lying to me again and taking stuff when I am in bed. My mental health is slipping past few weeks and I am struggling. My trust is away and I feel used. I keep bailing him out with money as I dont want to see him get hurt by dealers, but he is just using that. I have told my friends but they dont understand. I feel right now, I am going to bury my son. X

Hi Scotland 81

I’m in the same boat as you. My money is dwindling away on drugs for her. I have gotten her to get help, hoping this week they put her on meds to quit the addiction. I’m praying it works for her

Hi, he has phone his addiction councillor today and he promises me that he is going to change as he doesnt want to be like this. It’s so hard as I have heard it all before, but have to try and support him at same time. Thanks for responding, as it’s good to know people understand
