[QUOTE="Nessie, post: 715415, member: 21463"] He is 20, left home in February to live in a bedsit. I have a husband and 2 girls aged 16 and 18. His drug of choice l don't know but he claims that diazepam is the only thing that enables him to function. I know he is mentally unwell but he will not accept that drugs are making him worse. I know it sounds selfish but it all feels so unfair. I posted here when he first left and everyone was helpful and understanding but it does feel I am back to despair. I took advice and as a family we talk more but still remain divided in our way of dealing with all of this - myself and eldest daughter are more affected. Husband and youngest feel he has to change and do not tolerate his behaviour. I know they love him as much as I do but he is unable to manipulate them so easily. My ultimate fear is he will die and I can't bear it. Phone rings, I hear sirens, he isn't active on Facebook - so many things cause me to think the worse to the point that I make myself ill. I continue with this horrible numb way of life. Yesterday felt different, like I totally understood that I have no control over the outcome and yet I feel unable to fully accept this. I have emailed a counselling service tonight as I know I need some help to deal with this. During my last low point I had some physical health problems I ignored. I truly didn't care about what happened to me and even thought that if I died it would be a way out! I don't want to be in that place again. How can I help him and myself? [/QUOTE]
