Hi cornwallmother2020 – thank you so much for replying and I’m so sorry to hear that you are going through something very similar to myself – I’m finding it a very isolated thing to be dealing with and people who have no experience of it don’t really understand. Thank you for reaching out and if I can help you at all please let me know

thank you BT1978 – that is so helpful – when you say ‘ though my observations show me there are common themes in addicts that seem to be there in everyone regardless.’ what themes do you observe? I just want to try and understand something that makes no sense to me at the moment?!

I’m trying to leave him to make his own decisions and then slip into mother mode and start asking loads of questions ‘what are you going to do about this…..’ ‘don’t forget about that…’ I know it winds him up but I don’t want to see him get even lower.

Am I best to block all that out and just leave him to it?

Really stuck as what to do for the best

Hi Cathsp – so sorry to hear of your situation – I too am a Mum of a drug user and it is so hard – I’ve not got any words of wisdom – just send love and strength to you to carry on x

Thank you for replying Ash2013 & butterfly – its very hard to imagine how your child can be pulled into this addiction and sometimes I look at him and just don’t recognise him!

He says he has an appointment at Adaction in a weeks time but he went a couple of years ago and just said it was ‘crap’ so I’m not holding my breath. He is so thin – I just don’t know if he’ll get out of this – does anyone know people who have fully recovered? Thank you for replying – it helps to know you’re not on your own
