my heart goes out to you. I am in a very similar situation only my son is seventeen and a half has been out of control using ketamin for a year. Two years sporadic before that. He has been in Hospital twice, where i found him semi conscious. he has stolen and takes it most days though denies it even when i catch him in the act. I am torn , to throw him out or not. I am also on medication due to it and last yr had a breakdown. i recently found a support group for families of drug and alchol addicts. It is time we tried to look after ourselves, as this disease of theirs will destroy us, if we dont get support. we can not stop them using, only look after ourselves. we are also someones children and deserve some peace in life.

Hi ladies my son is 22 and an addict. He has torn my life apart for over 7 years. I am at the point where i dont know who i am anymore. He hasnt lived with us for a long time and doesnt know where we are. I have been subjected to trauma after trauma. Its taken me all this time to find the courage to get some help for me. My son is homeless, has no friends, no money. He bullies me daily and i have finally decided to change my number and take control. Its tough beyond tough. I hope your situations are improving. xx

I don’t know whether to feel comforted by the fact that so many other parents are in the same position as me, or distraught by it. My son is 17 and a half too. He admits to cannabis use but i strongly believe there is more to it than that. he is so thin, barely eats, never sleeps, only wants sugary foods. His moods are extreme and his latest “best mate” is a 46 year old man who lives alone and doesnt work. I’ve tried going to his dad for help, but he is completely blind to what is happening and told my son to ignore me as i’m clueless. Ive tried my GP but was told they cant help unless he stops using drugs. What are we supposed to do? My heart goes out to you, because like me, you want to do more than read pamphlets and talk, you want to do something or get some help and it’s just not out there. xx
I hope your son wakes up and comes to you for help. I hope you have someone there to support you xx
