Thanks everyone for kind words of support. Xx
Thanks jenny funnily enough my sisters friend who helps deal with homeless through her church sent me street links details they gave me local council housing number but they didnt help. My son was a horrid sweary mess and looked out of it and said he didnt want help and said he doent mind living on the streets…I spent 4 hours with police officers in the cold. Finally got my son to agree to stay in a premier inn which he initially refused but at our expense.
We cant do it again and so I know the problem will be there tommorow. Officers telling me to take a step back as he is clearly choosing to live this way.
I hope everyone else is ok.
I feel totally drained by this weekend. And know more is to come.
Jem that’s such good news and is so encourage g for us all.
My son is in a town nearby and now wasted on what I dont know. So although hes been found and not missing he is still street homeless. I just dont know where this going to end.
Jem glad tour mum is ok.
After an awful night I for a call about half hour ago from my son.
He had got mugged on the embankment on friday of everything has 2 teeth missing and slept rough bit closer to home.
I’ve informed police….but now what ?ridiculous as he still cant stay here.what a mess.
The phone is one hes only had temporarily I dont think he has anyone numbers as he called me to get his girlfriends.
Thanks so.much. my husband has now got his phone and security at the skate park on embankment saw him last night. But nothing further than that.
I’ve spoken to.my husband hes up at embankment now and asking people if they have seen him hes going to call the homeless guy and get the phone.
So he did go to hospital but he hasnt deliberately taken an overdose it was actually his usually daily overdosing of valium that he does as part of his addiction and supported living took him to hospital to be checked out and was apparently back at his house a few hrs later.
Yes your right about the phone I’ll get my husband to try and get it.
God I feel sick.
He basically takes either ketamine or street sanex and valium.
My husband is on the way to embankment now the homeless guy gave me his own contact number and so my husband may try to get the phone although it doeant help us much and I’m worried about covid and my husband being in contact with people not washing their hands.
My sons supported living was in surrey and I’ve rang around the friends that I know and I dont know of any contacts he has in london. He also wont know to find his way to people without his phone and contact details.
Thanks for that jaynhissayy that’s helpful advice.
I didnt get to the full truth I’ve been piecing things together but have now had to report my son as missing. The housemates at his supported living place shocked me with how he had been behaving and the lack of support and said he died seems to have some psychosis. Noone has heard from him and about an hour ago I got a call from his phone but it had been found by a homeless person in london. I am sick with worry he has no phone or money and is acting in a very confused unstable way. Waiting for the police to get back to me.
Bloody lockdown how awful for you. But if she doesnt understand mental health and drugs etc youndid the right thing not telling her you were shielding her from any stress and upset and that wldnt have been good for her health.
I have been on a real goose chase I cant get hold of my son his girlfriend or ex whatever she is messaged she says he told her took an overdose and was hospitalised and then supported living kicked him out but I just dont know if that’s true as it doesnt as up..also he told her he took 300 street valium which I’m sure wld have killed him?
Anyway his phone has gone from going straight to voicemail to ringing so I’m assuming g hesalive and has been able to charge his phone….I dont know what to do as I also cant let him back here anyway.
Life is a mess.
Jem sorry about your mum and dont feel bad as we know our sons issues are all consuming. You can be there for her now.
I hope its nothing serious.
Thinking of you.
Xx
When I look at my son I think if that were me I wld be at rock bottom…homeless jobless he looks ravaged by his addiction I just despair at how dark a place he has to get to
Ladies thanks once more for your support.
Jaynhissay thank you for taking the time to post I too was very emotional reading it. You have done so well to get to where you are and I’m sure your mum is so proud of you.
I dont feel my son sees me as a supportive loving mum as he thinks I shld still be providing g a roof over his head and everything. I cldnt sleep last night knowing he cld be either banging on my door at any point or equally out in the cold.
Your right jaynhissay I dont understand being an addict but what is rock bottom? What can I do that will ultimately help him get on the right track? Has anything helped you? I’m so scared for him and for us as a family.
