My son felt the same. His friends had all moved on. Given up on him. He had no one except me and his workmates which made him all the more susceptible to the exploitation he was experiencing. My boy took the only way out to be free of these people. Please stay strong do this for you and the bright future you can make for yourself xx
Thank you yes I remember him as my boy. I don’t think my life will ever be anywhere near how it was. It sounds sad but I don’t see much of a future. If only he knew how he would leave us. X
Thank you. I don’t think any of them go into it thinking this will be the outcome. My son was just doing something as a laugh with friends. The friends have since moved on he got addicted. Not in a million years would he have wanted to hurt us like this, especially me and his little girl. I hope one day to do some talks to young people to explain the impact drugs can have. Would they want to see their mums hurting like this. Xx
Thank you, I have had counselling and now cbt as they say I have post traumatic stress because it was me who found him, something which will always haunt me. I don’t think anything really helps. I’ll always love him, he was stuck in a world where he was being exploited. All the things I read on here take me back, I was numb then to, whatever I did didn’t help. They have to have the strength to want to recover, no one can do it for them no matter how much we want to help. My thoughts are with all of you still struggling with the worry of it all. My sadness is now never going to end xx
Thanks lindyloo for remembering. I’m up and down really, not coping great. It all seems like a nightmare. My son could be hard work and frustrating when he was alive but it’s so much worse now he’s dead. I wouldn’t want him to come back to the life he had but I miss him so much xx
Great news xx
Wouldn’t it be great if we could turn off the worry. Do they know or even care what they put us through. Glad he’s found but it’s a relief tinged with anger at wasted time and emotion. Damn drugs I wish I never knew the pain they cause x
So sorry. I well remember the dramas never really being able to relax. Hope he turns up well xx
You are doing well keep going. The benefits will be great. Your mum must be very happy you are making the choice of life. I know I would be. Everyday I wish my son could have done it he was a kind loving person. Sometimes I think that makes you vulnerable to those people who peddle this misery. You are stronger than you think. Xxx
No but I would love to find a way to help x
It’s a never ending roller coaster which even death doesn’t give an end to. All we can do is support each other and our loved ones who are trapped by this illness and the evil scum who do their best to keep them I’ll to line their own pockets xx
I know how your mum must be feeling. I loved my boy with all my heard but he wore me out with his need for money to pay bills when his money was passed to those scum bags who helped keep him trapped. The constant dramas the disappointment when his promises led to nothing. The total mind blowing shock of finding him dead. You have made the first step now follow it through. There’s a good life waiting for you xx
Hi
I am a mum who lost her 29 year old son to cocaine. Please please don’t think of suicide you may think you are all alone but I am sure you have family who will be as devestated as I am about my son. We are coming up to a year since I found him and my life has changed forever. My son wanted rehab but we couldn’t afford it. He was doing well but the people who were taking all his money would not leave him alone. Please do this for you and your family if you have one. Depending on where you are there will be an open road or something like it. Cocaine anonymous are good for support. Use me to talk if you have no one. You can do this xx
When I read everyone’s posts it immediately takes me back to how my life was. It’s easy to forget when you are grieving but my life was hell it still is but in a different way. I think the point that’s easy to forget is when they have an addiction they have no choice it’s taken away. We can’t change it but it’s important that at least we don’t give up on them. Xx
I used to feel I had already lost my son and I had really and although you always expect the worst when it happens you’d give anything to have them back just not as they were. Just love him let him know he’s loved. Xxx
