Hi all,

It breaks my heart reading all the messages but also lovely to know that I’m not alone. My son is 22 and not a day goes buy where he hasn’t had something (cannabis, cocaine, steroids, alcohol) I also face a constant battle of sleepless night and worry, its affecting my household and my work. My stress levels are through the roof, constantly hoping that he will do the right thing but he sadly never does. He has a good job and got his car back on the road recently after going a few months clear of cocaine but tonight will mark the third time, three weeks running where he’s been on an all nighter and missed work. I now dread the backlash of it all – lose his job, missed car payments, drug dealers wanting payment, my son feeling sorry for himself asking me for help but the truth is I ALSO NEED HELP ???? I just don’t know what to do for the best. I genuinely believe my son has ADHD but he refuses to get assessed or visit the GP. I am at my wits end and quite frankly am sick of how he makes me feel. I want to shout at him and ask him why he keeps doing this but at the same time I am relieved when I hear the key in the door because at least I know he’s ok after hours of waiting through the night

Take care all x
