[QUOTE="Guidance seeker, post: 725968, member: 22632"] Susiestar, I googled naranon and although this hasn’t been long established in the UK, there are meetings in a town that wouldn’t be too far to travel to. I plan to ring and find out more. My husband came home from his daily visit to my son today and said he really doesn’t want to visit him anymore. My son was abusive to him and demanding, he has gone through all of his money and is putting his grandmother’s gold crucifix and chain into a pawn shop this afternoon - this breaks my heart as she was so close to him as he was to her, she gave it to him shortly before she died when he was 11. He gives the reason for this as wanting to buy fireworks for New Year’s Eve tonight. I know in his mind, he thinks he will buy it back but by the time a month passes, his benefits will have gone on other things. My husband, who is generally a kind, calm, wonderful man said he found himself being verbally abusive back to my son as he was furious (my son had said made terrible remarks about his sister, who is a lovely person - I feel he is jealous of her) - he says he doesn’t want to see my son anymore and doesn’t want to be talking like he did to anyone - my son had made him so angry. My husband has endured my son daily while he took him for food and collected his washing etc. My son has never appreciated it, just expected it and wanted more. I can’t see what on Earth attracts him to maintaining the life he is living. I’m hurting so much today - a mixture between hurt and worry. It seems that however badly my son behaves and treats us, I still always worry about him and want him to just change so badly. I hate that I forgive so easily. My mind seems to flit from one worry to another about my son, it’s completely overwhelming. I’m glad I’m working all night tonight as it’s a distraction. [/QUOTE]
