[QUOTE="Guidance seeker, post: 726541, member: 22632"] SWOT - I answered the phone because his dad was assisting him to get his tenancy and I didn’t know if they needed to ask me something. He has an infection in his knee from the machete attack and cannot walk far, we live in a city and he had to travel to sign the tenancy, go to the flat and then get his clothes and some bedding that is being stored at ours. That is why his dad helped. My daughter has been working all day and has recently come home. I do spend time with her, I have always made a conscious effort that she won’t suffer or miss out and she is the main reason that I took out the restraining order on my son - she was suffering because of all the trouble. She is a very level headed, happy person and we get on really well. She has a full life with a great boyfriend and friends. My husband hasn’t talked about leaving me, we have been together 25 years and until the last 4 years, we have had generally happy lives. I just posted because I was frustrated in what my son sees as a priority. I had been gaining a lot of strength from posting on here and it prevented me from going on about him to my family. I guess my anxieties get a bit overwhelming sometimes and I’ve posted a lot this last week or so, probably too much but it’s just because I felt pretty desperate. I have arranged to go to nar-Anon meetings as recommended on here for support and I am looking into seeing a therapist as I accept that I need to stop enabling him. RN0441 He’s 20 years old and is an addict. I agree his flat will probably fall through. Social services had referred him to the learning disabilities team following a care act assessment and supported accommodation was going to be looked into but in the meantime he managed to get himself evicted from homeless and make himself completely homeless. It will happen again I think and there’s nothing I can do to help if it does as nothing works. [/QUOTE]
