Kerry well done. I'm so pleased you think the job is going to be great, I hope it will be. No rescue remedy brill!!! x

Ann I use to have that poem on my phone, I like it.x

Been so busy the last few days trying to get room ready for H. Just caught up with ironing I'm sure she will bring a couple of suit cases full of more!!

Liz why don't you set yourself little targets to do a bit at a time. Starting with making room for engineer. xxx

Carole, I am not living at that house, it is across the city and very cold and damp in there at the mo, also no space left to move anything into and nowhere to put anything I bring out. Have to do stuff a different way round, will explain it to you when I get time to write it all out lol
Gotta go and do some phonecalls before he gets home at 10pm
Catch you all later

Daughter lands in the morning, and oh bringing her and boyfriend home. I might not get to look in for a day or more xxxx

I should think not Carole - you enjoy yourself with your daughter and when you have the time tell us how things went!!

Hope they have had a safe journey and you enjoy your time together, Carole.
My explanation will wait lol


Programme on Tuesday evening BBC1 at 10.35pm on positive thinking etc, could be interesting.

hi i want to say thank you to you all for all your kind words and to ann of gg for the help she as given me and to tell you all i am still taking my tablets the reason i have not been on is my 16 year old son is a drunk and a drug addict he got beat up the other night he came in drunk and high with blood all over him and very abusive towards me you may say its the parents fault so did the social services they sent me and his dad to parenting classes we past i have 6 kids the eldest 4 and the younger one as never been like this we don't give him money he sells all of his things sometimes he sells his brothers things or he gets the drugs of his so called friends i have taken him to see the dr more times then i have had hot dinners when we get there he lies to the dr and says he isn't doing the drugs i know he is and how often he is doing them and i try to tell them but they don't listen once they sent me out of the room so they could to talk to him alone they just give him a phone number and as soon as we get home i tell him im going to ring it for him so he can talk to someone but he just goes out
i was one of those people who wondered why aren't the parents doing anything to help there child but i know now that its hard and you can't get help from anyone or anywhere i feel deep sorrow because he is wasting his life and hopeless because i can't do anything to help him i know he has to help himself but its so hard for me to see him destroy himself i think its going to go on forever sorry i just had to get it all out i hope you all don't mind if i have upset anyone with my post i will delete it
lots of love to you all

well done Carolina and may I say you sound a lot more positive today - I hope you are - you've got a lot on your plate and everyone will agree with that I know. Did you thiunk about that tough love option of giving him his marching orders? A dreadful thing for any parent to have to even consider but might work and make him pull his socks up - a night out in the cold might bring him to his senses. However, I'm sure someone else on here with maybe more experience in this area might come up with a more realistic solution - I'm sure they will. And by the way do not even considering deleting your post - people need to know the other side of the story of drug users.

Stay strong honeybuns, we're all with you on this one

Ann XX

carolina you have your hands full just remember we are here for you. It's not easy. Mybe you could talk to someone from a drug rehab ,mybe a talk with someone that's been there might wake him up. lots of hugs sent your way

Kerry, well done! And dont forget, we want all the gossip on those celebs and their kids!

Dear Carolina, you are doing what a loving parent can, stand by their child and try to get him the help he needs.
Stay on your meds, and post on here whenever you need to.
I agree with the principles of tough love, but is it possible where you live, to have him forcibly taken to a rehab facility for enforced treatment - as a mental health issue perhaps.
So glad you felt safe to open up here, there are some amazingly wonderful folks on this thread.
hugs

so do I surmise by the lack of postings that everyone is now completely better!!!

Hi all, am really tired at the mo so not much to say for myself, now there's a first lol. I start my counselling Weds pm and am expecting to feel drained, I think a lot of old stuff will be dug up and examined, but I think in the long run it will help me.
Will let you know how things go.

Meanwhile well done to all who are opening up, Carolina especially, keep taking your tablets and give yourself a pat on the back for coping as well as you have so far, also Betty, good luck with your family, sounds as tho you have your hands full but try not to lose heart. I am sure all your young people will come good in the end.
To everyone else, who is offering support and advice while coping with their own demons, thanks and remember we are all here for each other. To Ann, thanks so much for being the lynchpin of this thread. Take care,
Lizxx

Try and sleep tonight Liz, will be thinking of you as you go for your appt.
