Having just read your story I am so sorry to hear of your ongoing strife;I have a somewhat similar situation in mine.I have 3 adult children-the youngest has just turned 30 and since he left school has drifted through life with no light at the end of the tunnel.First it was smoking weed,then alcohol & cocaine when he could afford it.He has been in prison twice,altogether served 1 year inside.
In the last 2 years he has been on alcohol binges which last approx. 3 weeks several times a year & has been hospitalised for detox many times.The authorities have had enough of him being picked up by ambulance & he is no longer treated at hospital unless he has a seizure.I am disabled & can only walk a few metres,also have other health issues so cannot work any more.I have virtually used up all my savings paying off my son’s legal & illegal debts to try & help him but it never ends.He is now homeless as nobody wants him wrecking their home as he does.Yesterday he begged me to let him in with a load of drink & when I said no,I was headbutted,handful of hair pulled out & bitten.I did nor report it as am fed up of having my family in the local newspaper gossip.
He has everything to live for-a lovely 2 year old from his relationship which he has destroyed but he does see the child when he is clean & sober.I can’t see any happy end to all this so live in a strange twilight world waiting for the worst to happen.I can truly sympathise with you & really hope that life gets easier for you soon.As you say,none of this is our fault.Every good wish to you winkle.
