I wish nothing but the best for your son and his journey. I hope he can cope and stay the course of rehab.
This also gives you the opportunity to concentrate on your own recovery, and gather strength.
Much Love

Re: Supporting financially
I don't know where your sister lives, but depending on the local authority, and what is available, your sister could be offered temp accommodation. Unfortunately, this could be a hostel, which she has left previously. It really comes down to availability.

Hi JayC
Just as you blocked him, so can they if they choose to.
I'm sure they will all be aware of the reasons you have blocked him, and they can follow suit if they want to.
Ask them not to tell you that he has contacted them to ask you to call him - that's the only thing you should do.

Re: Supporting financially
Hi Autumn I think it boils down to, do you want to do it? If you do, then do it without any expectations of her. Will she repeat her behaviours? It's highly likely. Or, as Lesleerose suggests, you can leave her to her own devices. It's difficult to know what to do for the best, so for me, I do what ...

Re: Help focusing on ways forward
MF If you go to the main page, and from the drop down menu choose literature. The free download called tough love, is particularly good. We can't just turn our emotions off like a tap, but it takes work to keep putting our addict on the back foot. He will be just fine, trust me. You're the one worry...

Re: Help focusing on ways forward
MF Nothing that you do, or don't do, will cause him to relapse - that is 100% on him. We're not that powerful! Concentrate on you and the children. Keep in your mind the shitty things hr has done or said to you. Write them down, and each time you feel a wobble - read that list. You will get stronger...

Re: Death by Duvet
Oh for sure Lesleerose. I think we all have days like that. Days when I can't even be bothered speaking. I think we are allowed to have dsys, just to feel what we feel. The important thing is, that we don't live there. We get up, dust ourselves off, and keep going. It's probably your important event...

Re: So had enough - don’t have the strength
JayC Yes, I absolutely experienced this. Anytime my phone would ring or a txt message received, I was immediately thrown into a panic. Even just seeing his name pop up on the screen sent me off on one. The adrenaline shot through my whole body. It's bloody awful! Immediately into fight or flight mod...

Re: I know i have to let go
You are not the one who has let your children down, your partner has. You have been the person holding it all together, out working for your family - you have absolutely nothing to reproach yourself for - NOTHING! You have been badly let down by your partner, and of course you will be hurting. We ca...

Re: So had enough - don’t have the strength
Hi Jay It doesnt make you a bad mum at all. I've just gone no contact with my son, as I have more than enough of his chaos. Everyday is a crisis. Refusal to give money is followed by abusive, degrading, disgusting and threatening txts. I have attempted to maintain the contact for 10 years, as I am t...

Re: Exhausted
Hi Exhausted Can you not charge your ring door bell? We charge ours during the night, but the charge lasts for ages. I agree, the best thing ever - we don't need to open the door to see who is there. We got one after I was on my knees one night (daft o'clock time) looking out the catflap as I though...
