Dear mjdoubleu, It sadddens me greatly to hear your story and as a parent of a Ketamine addict, I totally hear and can resonate with you. I’m sorry you are going through this and totally understand how lack of sleep and anxiety and frustration and all the other emotions are hitting you like a tonne of bricks. Me too 🙁

Gardenfence, you have sound advice, I too thank you for the time you are taking to give advice, I will be listening myself to your kind words of wisdom and encouragement.

My son has ramped up thousands of pounds in debt, we are unsure to the exact extent as he too has lied over and over to us but deep down we know it’s huge. A friend shared a site that is helpful in organising debts out of control: https://www.stepchange.org/.  My husband and I are not in total agreement with handling this situation atm. so it’s in the air so to speak.

I would rather see the ugly real and big picture with all the hard horrible facts to help me come to terms with what our son is battling with including the amount of debt to try to also understand the financial situation fully. My husband says our son is not in the right frame of mind to deal with this yet and to focus the battle of the Ket addiction first.  I get what he is saying and know he’s right, however in my mind some of the Ketamine our son uses is to ‘get away from everything and not think about anything and take all the pain of everything away”. That to me says he’s worried financially and surely some of the weight of worry would be lifted if the finances were looked at in a helpful way. I don’t think our son will be truthful with it all. When he is ready I’m thinking of giving him the site, it is his problem, I do not want it as mine or ours! All this is just so tough! I hate what it’s doing to the whole family and the anger and the lies and the eggshells and the anxiety, the sleepless nights, the list is endless…

Wishing you all a good day ahead…small steps taken one bit at a time eh?

Hi addiction help, thank you for offering your advice. I’m absolutely at my whits end with our son! I’m not sure what to believe anymore. He lies although he says he’s not, it’s all very sad and frustrating. We have recently found he has got multiple credit card debts for thousands of pounds. He is addicted to Ket and Cocaine. I know it’s not ‘my problem’ but essentially it is. What advice would you give that my son may listen to because he clearly is not making good choices? thanks for any snippet of hope. KASmum

I hope you find the strength to realise coke and beer may not have such a happy ending and you’re better than that. ????

I’m scared my son may end up with a colostomy bag and/or any other serious things because of his addiction. As a parent you want the best life for your children and many of them are not making good choices. It’s so sad and such a waste of what could be a brilliant life.

Sending strength to you to cope with your rollercoaster journey.

I read @kalstars story they shared on the forum and I’ve since realised I NEED to try and take kalstars wife as inspiration and embrace tough love – my son needs to work hard to win me back. I think I’m going to find doing this hard and hope it’s a way forwards. Thank you for making the time to read and reply to my post.
