Hi all, was hoping to give us all hope here today, but alas I’m empty and cold. My son (21) went to path2recovery yesterday by himself, normally I go to but he said no he wanted to try and face it himself so I stupidly respected his decision . . . He arrived back home this morning at the time he should have gone to work, out of his head and had driven!!! Needless to say passed out and a new job he has let down already, didn’t even manage a week. I discovered my mother lent him money!!!!! So I have become the mother from hell, taken his bank card, car keys and house keys and house is permanently locked, I’ve hidden all keys. If he has a job Monday he can have only his car keys. . If not home when I lock up then his problem. I feel So let down his grandmother gave him money she knew not too . . . Now I feel alienated from her too. How the heck do we stop this cycle, how do we help?!?!? There MUST be a way!!!
Hi all, Paula I agree with you, so sad for all involved. we have had another week of 1 step forward and 3 back but I keep on with the hope that maybe just maybe we are inching forward. Thinking of you all xx
Hi,
I have only this moment signed up as like so many of you I need to talk, understand and get advice/help. My 21 year old son is back on cocaine, he too has lost so many jobs, lies all the time and deals to make ends meet. Every time I think he is finally in control it all goes wrong again. Even the birth of his child has had no impact and his girlfriend has now said no more, which I can understand. my son has a younger sister who I must protect from all of this and an older brother who feels he should have been able to sort him out. . . so the whole family are in torment one way or another. My son says he wants to be clean but this is usually said when he is on the come down. . . . is it possible to get them clean?!?!?! Do they need to have a mentor who has got through it?
