Oh sorry but they have been using every day more or less for a month now , they only started as their son is an addict and think they were around it and just had it a couple of times and obviously bloody liked the feeling it gave them
nannytParticipantThanks for reply and I agree it’s dope sick . They have agreed to let me help them come off this , don’t know how long the sickness will last , but hopefully not too long . They are feeling very nauseous today and sweating , do you know if this is all part of the process , is there anything else I can do to make this easier for them . Cooking food but there not really eating , giving them plenty of fluids etc
nannytParticipantThankyou for understanding , it’s an awful thing and has destroyed so many families , but one thing I have learnt is acceptance fir what they are and the hope that one day they will see the light and get clean . I hope you don’t mind me asking but dies your daughter inject or smoke . Stay safe and think of yourself x
nannytParticipantSince my last post my son is now back on the streets , I actually saw him begging last week outside the £1 shop. When I saw him I think it made me finally realise that I just cannot help him anymore . I try not to think about him too much because it makes me so sad , and I don’t want to be sad all the time. I’m so sorry that your parents are addicts and that your dad got your mum on drugs , must be painful for you too. But like you said they are the only ones that can do it not us , we can support them when that time comes . Stay safe
nannytParticipantI totally understand this , I have just put my son out . He is probably in the streets again and already has a black eye . I as a mother done everything I could to help, encourage , support and put a roof over his head and good in his belly . But still he chooses drugs . It’s so hard but this time I have to be strong and disconnect from him . It was overtaking my life and destroying me yet again . Still he says it’s all my fault and all the verbal abuse again . I still see my son in there somewhere , but he will never come to my home again till he is clean and I will drug test him . The choices he makes now will determine what he wants , my heart is broken yet again but I know this is for the best . Stay safe everyone during this time of Uncertainty in our country . Bless you all
nannytParticipantHow ??? Any advice or help appreciated
nannytParticipantMy son is on methadone and still using, he was on the streets and then went to prison for 3 weeks , when he came out I thought this is it , but it isn’t. I feel like I’m coming to the end with it all and chucking him out . I’ve done everything possible and even let him back into my home again , it’s bloody heartbreaking , I find some comfort in reading book about addicts and it learns me stuff I never knew . But one things for sure , my son is not ready to give up , this I know . I believe he’ll be back in prison soon and I can rest easy and sleep soundly . My heart goes out to you and everyone on here . Sometimes we have to think of ourselves and our own welfare and the rest of our family . One thing is very true they will only stop when they are ready , doesn’t matter about substitute or breaking their parents hearts or seeing their mother crying , they only care about their next fix . So we must go on and try to fix ourselves as we cannot fix them , only they can do that . If you want the names of any books I have quite a few I can point you towards just ask . They may bring you some comfort as they do me
nannytParticipantI had to use a epi pen needle the other day as he was unresponsive when I came back to the house with very shallow breathing and so so pale , oh all such a worry
nannytParticipantHe’s been checked for needle marks everywhere and none. He does smoke in a pipe when he’s out of the house crack and heroin. It was his eyes and his drowsiness this morning , I’ve seen him after a hit and that’s how he is . I know he’s been using of a night time indoors but couldn’t make out how as no paraphernalia anywhere. So I’m sure he’s doing it through his vape pen . Thanks for reply I’m sure I’ll get to the bottom of it eventually
nannytParticipantThat’s what I thought that maybe it’s just crack , I told him to be honest and not lie , least we know what we’re dealing with then, thankyou for advice
nannytParticipantI’ve just found out that my son is also using crack cocaine , and I think he’s been using just cocaine. Will this make a difference to the methadone he’s on do you know . I’m beginning to get bloody angry now with it all as he’s not helping himself thanks for listening
nannytParticipantOh and he’s only on 30 mg so I thought it should be upped , that may help more
nannytParticipantHe has to see the CGL doctor on Thursday so I’ll write it down for him , what to ask . He tried subutex but didn’t like it . He was struggling so bad earlier today, then he seemed ok , now he said he going out for a while, I’m sure to score . Do you know if he will be drug tested at CGL as this I’m not sure of.
nannytParticipantNot any other drugs no, and have to go through the gp for referral back to mental health , as he missed so many appointments when he was using and on the street
nannytParticipantOh thankyou , sometimes it’s such a struggle , especially with his mental health issues as well. He has to go CGL this week for his new script, I advised him to ask to up the dose , hope this hold him thanks
