Hi, my son has been an alcoholic and drug user for all his adult life, I realise I have been enabling him throughout as his mum I’m the only person in the family who can help him although I know now he can only help himself. he is 40, has been in prison several times for related offences. He has lost 3 homes and 2 relationships and now will be on the streets as I can’t bail him out any longer. It helps reading about others and I do relate to alib as I see no end in site except my sons passing before me
(I’m over 70). It helps me to get this down as I have no one else and feel now after all this time that I must let him go. I have spent thousands bailing him out in the past, can’t do it any longer although it is going to be so hard knowing he has no one else. I will contact the Icarus Trust as feel so alone.
