Guess It's My Turn For Thoughts & Prayers

Post by Dee »

My son had been asked to leave where he was living with the mother of his children , on Sunday.
I had no idea where he had gone.
He is in such a state of being totally lost in his life and is to the point of not being able to do any rational thinking.
I have exhausted every option that there is out there.
So, I started my own group under the group EMK on the gratefulness.org website for anyone that would like to light a candle and leave a message.
This is just so overwhelming for me and I have just been a wreck for the past 4 days! :cry:
It's just hell being a parent of a child that is afflicted with addictions.
Thanks To All Of My Special Family here.

Love
Dee~~~~~

I'm so sorry, Dee, and you and your son will be in my thoughts.

If anyone else want's to light a candle, here's a shortcut to the candle-lighting page:

Hello Dee,

So very sorry that this is happening to you and yours. No matter how old our children are we never cease to be their parents & to worry about them. Hope that there is an answer somewhere for him and that your mind can be put at rest.

Love Liz

Dee thats not so good...However now that he is not living with his partner he can hopefully get some help and focus on his own problems for a while...i would suggest some counselling.
Also he should get in touch with his gp to reffer him to an addictions clinic or support group for addictions. At least this may help him get though this tough time.This would also enable him to receive support from other sufferers to which he could probably relate and not feel so alone and isolated...thus hopefully help him to recover...

Dee you can only do so much for him. The most you can do is to support him on an emotional level,to allow him to vent his feelings and frustrations. He will have to make his own choices and decisions...Dee you need to try not to get yourself stressed out here and take each day as it comes..i know its difficult but if your stressed out how can you help him...

I send a hug to you both and hope that he will recover soon. :bigbighug:

I have lit a candle too.. and send out a prayer to u both..
