Bump I feel physically sick for you at least we were lucky enough to have the old motor home that my son is staying in. I’m scared to look inside it but at the same time I’m glad that at least we know where he is most of the time. The person dealing with our sons case keeps telling him that the only accommodation is in a unit with other users. They always have an excuse as to why there are no accommodations available xxx

Bump I often feel when I’m speaking to someone on my son’s behalf that they can be quite condescending as if we have brought it on ourselves.This sometimes changes if you have information and knowledge on their duty of care Policies. To Jenny thanks for sharing this information. Knowledge is power xxx

Thank you Icarus Trust I will definitely have a look.Bump you are definitely going through hell at the moment. I hope you have some positives coming your way xxx

Aww girl’s I’m a pacifist really???? it’s just my way of dealing. Sometimes when I try to talk to my son even when I have his attention in my car running him to this appointment or a visit to the GP he will start screaming at me to stop talking I’m giving him a panic attack

Lindyloo get a fire pit then go to any reputable DIY store and buy a hatchet and some logs. It beats any relaxation classes or books. Many a day you will find me in the garden chopping logs and expelling as many profanities as possible. Stay safe everyone xxx

Bump I think we’ve all had that horrible feeling waiting on the unthinkable happening. Nothing anyone can say or do can take it away. Please remember your not alone. Sending healing thoughts your way xxx

[theresa]

Sorry about the sandwich Jem and the puncture bump but I’m so glad I made you smile xxx

[theresa]

As lindyloo said take pleasure in the little things. My son has been shitting and peeing in a bucket and leaving it right outside my window ???????? but the sun is shining and I’m having a lazy day. Take care everyone xxx

[theresa]

Lindyloo welcome to the club it’s not the best club to be in but it’s nice to know that we have each other to turn to on the bad days xxx

[theresa]

Jem I’m glad you’re son is getting there we have to grab every crumb of hope we get and bump it’s horrible about your sons housing situation.I had a phone call from the housing department of our local council asking could I not let my son live with us and it made me physically sick saying no but I’m not going to spend the rest of my life cleaning up his mess. Bump I’m sending healing thoughts your way as when they are in that horrible place you are in it with them xxx

Girls I’m sorry I’ve been quiet but had a wee holiday. I know it’s not funny but as some of you know my son has been living in our motor home. It’s parked in our driveway in front of my window. I was having a coffee the other morning and started to see the van rocking then five minutes later a really dodgy looking girl sauntered out.Ive heard of taking liberties but that took the biscuit !!!

[theresa]

Ladies I’m sorry I haven’t got back to you but I’m away for a week with family and have left my 33year old at home. It’s not the holiday I envisioned but he had nowhere else to go and I felt sick at the thought of him on the street. So for the next week the thoughts are what he’s up to when we’re away. I hope you all keep safe xxx

[theresa]

I really hope that you’re son gets sectioned as I’ve heard other families say it was the turning point for them. I feel that our NHS is on it’s knees at the moment and sadly drug and alcohol dependency isn’t very high on the list of priorities.

Bump22 I wish there was something I could say or do to help you. My husband and I can’t even look at each other just now as my husband said that our son was a waste of space and would be better of dead

[theresa]

Bump22 I feel sick for you at least I haven’t got younger kids at home. My son is only going to work till he has enough money for drugs. I wrote him a letter saying that we have done all we can for him and he has 3 weeks to find somewhere to stay as he is dragging me down with him. He just doesn’t seem to care. Like you I believe he has mental health issues because of the drugs
