Hi queen bee. Your story is so sad. I agree you are out of your depth however your son is still so young which means intervention now could well be successful. I really urge you to seek help. Have you tried speaking to your own GP for advice as a starting point? I have recently had to make the heartbreaking decision to ask my 40yr old partner, father to our 3 children to leave as he is in the very grips of alcohol addiction. I only wish I’d seen it coming and intervened years ago. There really is so much help out there, certainly more than I realised. However the absolute very worst part of addiction is that help can only be sought when that person is ready. God that took me so long to finally realise! You cannot force your son to seek help but you can access support for yourself to help you help him and to help you cope. Unfortunately I can’t get through to my partner and so I have to keep myself healthy and strong for my children and put them first which meant I needed to remove him from the family home. The best advice I can give is educate yourself and seek support, initially for yourself. I really hope your son is well again soon and this becomes very much a part of your past. Good luck queen bee xxx
Thank you Icarus, I certainly will contact you. I was hoping to move on but I’m stuck in this life where I can’t imagine being truly happy anymore. That’s not to say I’m ungrateful for what I have, my children are my world. I’m just hoping for a day when I don’t have to just cope and get through.
On a slightly separate note, I can see that my post has 10 comments yet I can only view this one from you Icarus. Any thoughts on how I read the other 9?
Thank you and I look forward to speaking to you xx
