Son just had a drug induced psychotic episode,placed in a secure mental health unit to detox.He is 38,and has abused alcohol and drugs since he was 18.
I said he could come stay with me for a while so I could feed him up, Thank god for Primark,clothe him and attend the local rehab agency. What has taken me by surprise is what the hell do I do with all the hurt and anger stored up in me from his addiction attitude over the years. I have been telling him and other family members of his addiction problem to prescription drugs,legal highs and over the counter drugs to be told that I am paranoid.
I want to sream my head off
I am getting no kind
