Hello it’s been a while…. well my son got arrested and is released under investigation, he is engaging with a drug counsellor and hoping to get funding for rehab but could take a while…. he’s not living with me now as we had some trouble because of him but I’m still I. Regular contact and see him often , never thought I’d be in this situation x
Im really not ok I’m so torn , I love my son very much he is nearly 18 but he’s doing so much crack I worry about him all the time… will prison be better I don’t know?…, x
Thank you for listening and the advice…. I’ve heard the same thing with regards to drugs in prison it’s really hard to know what is for the best , if I had £10,000 I’d put him in rehab but I don’t so at a loss sadly x
No one is in danger but my son would go to prison for couple of years and I’m beginning to think that’s the only thing that may save him but I’m feeling sick to my stomach with worry and questioning myself with what’s the right thing to do x
If you knew your child had done something bad because of drugs would you tell the police ? X
I really feel the pain you are all going through… each time I think we’re getting somewhere we are back to square one…. I just don’t know what else to do I can’t leave him to it he’s still too young I feel completely useless x
It really scares me that your sons are 10 years into there addictions, when did you become aware of their addictions? X
He’ll be 18 in April for an under 18 treatment centre it’s £15,000 for 28days…. over 18 it varies from £1000 -£5000 a week. It’s so unfair no wonder so many people can’t get well again x
It’s a long process to get a nhs rehab sadly
Things have got worse with my son he needs rehab but I can’t afford it it’s so awful
Sorry I read it as though you were the addict… is he in hospital due to his drug use?…. my son is 17 couldn’t bare 10 years of this! You’re doing the right thing not giving him money I hope you get the support you need too
Can I ask how old you are? There is hope you just need to get the right help, I’m in the process of helping my son he’s feeling like you it’s very hard but you can beat this…. can you ask a family member for help? Please don’t give up x
Hi what a terrible story I’m so sorry you’ve been through all this… I’m wondering how your son is allowed to see his kids as he is at the moment I would personally get court order for supervised visits and get a restraining order simply because of the children you have with you at home still… I won’t tell you to turn your back on him because I couldn’t do that although some will say it’s the only way I’m sorry I don’t have the answers but wish you well and maybe if you haven’t already get some counselling x
I thought things were getting better as he got a job and changed his focus but no seems he’s in deeper cannot kick him out but also can’t be honest with my partner I feel like such a terrible mother/partner
