    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

    It has been a long time since I have posted. I felt like I was living on this site and there was always a new drama or a story to tell so I had to take a break. Some may remember my stories and I see, sadly, there are new members whose stories I have tried to catch up on. I am not sure if...

    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...

    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...

    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'

    So, he has managed one night at the hostel. I went, on Tuesday to pick him up, take food and to go to employment agencies. Of course, he was not ready when I arrived. Such an up and down day! He is so agitated and his temper just hangs, ready to explode at anything you say 'wrong'. Whilst...
