Hi. I previously wrote on here 2 years ago regarding my Son who is now 22 years old. Its been really hard during lockdown particularly as I have worked 8 hours a day throughout leaving him at home to his own devices (finally lost his job). We have had multiple ambulances, and calls to mental health crisis teams, Doctors and the local drug services with whom he is registered. Nobody wants to listen and he has withdrawn permission for them to speak with us. Doctors and crisis team say he’s a adult and shut the door on us. He is currently on a programme with them taking methadone to come off the tablets. However he is still topping up with painkillers and more methadone. Doesn’t come out of the bedroom except to go to chemist for the methadone. I am constantly trying to reach out to him and to motivate him but it is like speaking to a zombie. I have started to feel very angry and everything he does is stressing me out. Anybody else experienced similar with adult children?
