Hello,

I’ve been in a similar situation around a year ago….my life crumbled in the blink of an eye. I got to the point where I simply couldn’t cope anymore after weeks & weeks of ‘managing’ through life. I stressed that if he didn’t get the help he needed then I would be leaving him. Luckily he got the help he needed and we are still meeting up.

It’s a horrible position that you’re in as you love & hate the person at the same time. Try sitting him down & see if he actually wants help, there may be local programmes he can join. I know it doesn’t seem like it now, but honestly it does get easier. I felt so alone at the time but always remember you aren’t & there’s always support.

Here if you need to talk, take care! X

I completely understand how you feel, I was in the same position this time last year although I didn’t have children. It’s a scary & a very unsettling time but keep plodding through, you’re already doing great & you’re coping with this with a young baby. It sounds like he really does need some help but he needs to want to help himself. Do you have any local community drug/alcohol programmes near your he could take part in? You haven’t messed anything up, don’t blame yourself for his addiction. Always here if you need to talk, take care! x

Thank you for getting back to me. I’m sorry to hear you have been through something similar too. It isn’t a nice situation for anyone to go through and I completely understand how hard it must have been with children. I’m just taking it a day at a time, I’m not sure what the future holds but at the moment we just are friends x

Thank you for replying to me, I completely agree with you. It will be at a very slow pace and I am still very wary. We are just taking it slowly and supporting each other at the moment. His family have been very difficult and they often ignore me in the street. I’m sorry to hear you have been through this with your son. They are definitely great at hiding things too. Thank you so much, I hope your son turns his life around too. I wish you all the happiness also, take care x
