Hi to button boy ,Paula and Kerry it’s lime 18 I’ve not been on this forum for a while..my heart breaks for you all my son has been addicted to cocaine for a long time we’ve gone through it all like you debts drug dealers rehab weeks in hospital loosing accommodation even though I’ve paid outstanding bills and it goes on and on lies etc ..he ended up In the salvation army after years of help and chances he also comes from a loving family he is now in prison so believe it or not I’m not as terrified as I’ve been in the past he won’t be there long and ended up there for not engaging with service’s that were there to help him ie probation he was growing weed for a dealer to pay off debts ..Yes more debts I have a bin bag with a few bits of clothing in I’ve constantly replaced them but he usually looses them he has a trade and had lots of good tools but lost or sold them he will be spending his 30th birthday there next week and I keep thinking he dosnt even have a coat it devastates me every day as he is a lovely caring young man but gave it all up for evil cocaine ..we are not on our own and like you I haven’t told his loving elderly grandparents were he is .thinking of you all sorry if I’ve gone on
Hello to you all I hope things are going well ? With your loved ones ? I’ve seen my son today in a prison and couldn’t possibly have the time or texting to bore you with it all but mum !! Has been drinking wine and Sat alone longing to talk to someone. Don t suppose any of you ever feel like me ? Xx
That’s great news Ah91 I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.. I’m going to see him tommorow with my daughter and feeling quite anxious about it xx
Thanks for your reply Ah91 I haven’t had any emails from Adfam so didn’t see your message. But came on here to say ..Hi to all the mum’s or dad’s of addicts how are you ? I think about you and the stories you have told and hope things are ok and maybe getting a bit better?for anyone?.xxx
Yes I’ve had doors slammed in my face for a long time earlier this year he was having an epic meltdown in my car I literally didn’t know we’re to turn I drove to a local crisis centre an begged them to help us ..they did nothing just said take him to the hospital xx
Hi again I was just making sure my post went to the right place as I think some of my others have gone to myself ? Maybe you could let me know…Millie I understand fully the fear of losing your son I also think about a funeral what a terrible thing for a mum to have to do and people who know me get sick of it I try not to talk about him but my daughter knows by my behaviour as I can’t relax and am hyper it disgusts me that people look down on you I expect you are a lovely family just like mine is people need to stop judging as they never know what may happen to one of their loved ones..my son is in prison and I’m hoping to get to see him next week I will be scared and extremely upset but rang hi probation officer earlier and he said if my son engages there is help but I’m sorry to say he’s had 10 years of help but never helped himself so I hope to god this may do it he’s only there for 2 months for not engaging with probation and he’s never been before. I’m thinking of you both but yes I feel he’s addiction and behaviours have spoilt a big chunk of my life xxx
Hi Millie and AH91 it’s so sad to read both your stories what is it with 29 year old men ..
My son has gone to prison today for breaching his probation he’s never been before and it’s 4 months I don’t know how he will go on I hope to god he doesn’t get bullied or get into more drugs ..could he get help ? I would like to think so he will spend his 30th birthday there .when I can see him my daughter who is 33 and has two lovely boys of her own is going to cine with me thankfully..x
Hi I hope this goes to you ozone99 I’m not sure if any of my posts are being seen as they just say you to you maybe it’s the stress of being the mum of an addict that’s making me a bit dippy!! X
I hope you manage to get some quality time while your away some me time as you appear to be Just like me the worry never goes away I’m at it again today…try to enjoy xx
Hi I’m 51 and my son is also 29 he spends quite a lot of time in hospital he struggles with his chest and breathing he doesn’t look after himself or use his medication I haven’t heard from him yet today but the call will come it’s terrible to hear how upset and desperate he can sound he says you don’t understand how I feel etc but yes we all do Don t we ?I feel his misery but have tried and tried as you probably have and no your right you can’t switch off he’s on my mind constantly it wakes me up at night panicking and having palpitations. So your not on your own but I don’t know what we can do ?my son is a lovely caring and emotional young man but he is ruining his life he’s lost most precious things like closeness with his family as he shuts them out and owns nothing but the clothes on his back as when we replace them he looses them I have some socks in my bag for him at the mo but haven’t seen him.??? I’m at a loss
Hi I’m sorry I didn’t realise that was your post about your son it’s the most terrible thing waiting for a knock on the door I have a panic attack if anyone knocks on my door.i hope you can get some help and don’t get doors slammed in your face I’ve pleaded for people to help my son but as people tell me he has to want to help himself and at the moment doesn’t appear to be doing that.i hope you get some help for your son and for you
