    Just needing some support today, please

    So, following my last post, I took all of your advice and made some decisions. We came down hard on my daughter and she gets the point. She is engaging in counselling and has stopped smoking and thrown herself into her gym and athletics. As for my son, I cut contact and have not spoken to him...

    7 months on...i'm back

    ...an inch, he takes a mile. He is told about stuff and gets back in line briefly before reverting back again. My husband says he is taking the pi** out of me and is a manipulative little sh*t. Sadly I agree. I love him but I do not like him. Yesterday I asked for some money he promised me...

    Its been ages..some improvement but how deep?

    I am sorry I have not posted in quite a while, I have checked back now and then to see how everyone is doing. It got where I would need to just sit here and update from moment to moment if I continued to come on here. The update is:- Everything has finally caught up with my son with the police...

    Message to my son

    ...What makes you any different? I hate to point it out but those ‘scumbags’ are there because they don’t work, do drugs, treat people like sh*t and think they can do what the hell they like. In the end their parents have gone “c ya”. Sound familiar? YOU have to change. Nothing will change...

    A mixture of mess

    ...perfume etc for Christmas and how great he looked in his Hugo Boss tracksuit. He then asked me if I would ever get bored of making him feel like sh*t. Today i feel bad. I wonder if it was me that took him to this place. I try to remind myself of the pay day loans he has taken out and how...

    I feel to blame

    So, I returned from our break. It was ok. A little tense. Since being home I do not feel ok. I cannot stop crying. I went to GP and got something to help me sleep. She suggested anti-depressents. I tried to explain its a depression which would go if my son was ok. I think she understood...

    :( 'Happy Christmas'

    Hi It;s been a few days. I took all your advice and told my son he cannot came for Christmas. I dropped his presents off in his shed yesterday at 4pm, he was still in bed. I knocked the door and a house mate answered - he was not friendly. I asked if I could put some food in his freezer, he...

    So, things have been really up and down with my son. We cannot seem to talk without arguing I nag him to do stuff and he does nothing. Landlord contacted me, no surprises, no rent paid! I told my son I was no paying anymore and he needed to sell whatever he has bought to pay his rent. I...

    When is it ok to walk away?

    So, today I feel really really tired and emotional. My son got paid £1,800 for his last pay. You may recall the deal we had....we would pay his rent until he got paid, then we would pay his court fine etc and he would pay us back but he went back on the deal and changed his bank passwords. I...

    update..

    So, my son has officially finished his job last Thursday. I felt so sad, he loved that job, it 'saved' him. However, he couldn't have loved it enough or he would have followed the rules. I took food and an ultimatum at the weekend. The deal was, we pay his rent but he needed to give us his...

    Today I looked in the mirror...

    and I noticed something staring back, someone who looks grey, with red eyes from crying, tired.....old. Where have I gone? Caught in the pain and churning of the situation I realised I am doing nothing with my life. Somehow I am down to just working one day a week and I even dread that...

    So, he has lost his job. They have given him a weeks notice for being late in the mornings and for the incident that took place outside of work which he goes to court for tomorrow. We have tried to help him by writing to the company about their general treatment of staff including our son and...

    Alone and the saga goes on and on...when I thought there was hope

    So, things were good. Not 100% but 100% better. That was my saying. Right now I am feeling really alone. My husband and I cannot seem to stop niggling at each other and I have noticed that he no longer asks me about my son or shows any interest in discussing him. I kind of get it but it...

    I've said 'No more'

    ...a taxi or arrange a lift as he is stranded and must get back to hostel tonight. I said 'no'. He kept on and then said that I know he will be "f**ked" if I don't sort it. My reply? "yes YOU will be f**cked if YOU do not get yourself back, and you knew that when you managed to get where you...

    Reaching a desperate point. It's a hard day today

    ...agitated saying he needs food and clothes and what was wrong with me. I try to explain I was working and he starts calling me a "silly little c**t", "arrogant bi*ch", filled in "what sort of mother...blah blah". On the fourth occasion calling me a "c**t" I hang up as I am starting to lose...
