Hi Maggie,
Don’t know if I can offer any advice as such, but I think it helps to know there are parents, mum’s out there going through the same problems.My son is also 28yrs and his weed and alcohol problems started around 12/13 years ago.He has never left home and like your son never been able to hold onto a job for any lengh of time.Infact he’s not worked for two years or so now.Unfortunately I now believe he is mentally ill from taking weed.I am desparately trying get help,but it’s not easy unless he himself admitts he has a problem which of course he won’t.Talking to someone who understands really helps.Believe me you are not alone,but I don’t have an answer. I’m just always hoping that I will get my son back.Like Claire said they may have to bit rock bottom before they come back to us.Stay strong.Yes the doctors can help as they gave me some tabs to help me sleep.My friends are a great support aswell.My thoughts are with you. It would be nice to post a positive outcome one day ☺
