Good news for me, I did not stress eat whilst all the ‘dramas’ with son was/is going on. Weigh in this morning showed a 800g loss ☺️
And on son he came home for a bit yesterday. He sounded and acted normal….but when you on a ‘downer’ on amphetamines apparently you do. Anyways he grabbed some clothes and said he wasn’t staying. He said he felt too ‘closed in’ here and he needed to be gone, somewhere where he didn’t feel closed in and lonely. Gave him a bit of food, told him he was welcome here anytime as long as he was drug free as we refuse to go through what we went through with him last time. He said he understood that but this time was a ‘one off’ Do I believe that…no way 🙅🏼♀️
His friend living in his camper has been told to move on too. She has started packing up and carting her stuff away. Omg looking in there she had settled herself right in… 😳
Also had to tell him that his manager at work wanted to see him due to him not attending work, (he was having at least a day off a week) calling in sick or some excuse or other…. Anyhow got a message this morning today he was at work so guess that’s something.
Yes, it’s his choice doing what he is doing. He believes because he’s ADHD that this drug will not affect him. Really son!!!
He has forgotten how much this decision to ‘use’ has on us and his extended family. We’ve been on this road before. It’s hard. I don’t want to watch him to lose all that he worked so hard for to be lost. It’s devastating to watch someone lose themselves in drugs. They cannot see the hurt that it causes the immediate family. 😞
So we’ll sit back and hope that he can pull himself back. All we can do.
It’s going to be an uphill battle for him, that’s if he wants too.
It is extremely heart breaking to watch a loved one fall into addiction. I pray your son is able to overcome this. I have family that was able to even after several relapses.
ReplyDeleteThanks, this does give me hope.
ReplyDeleteKudos to keeping your health and weight loss journey in line during this stress! My heart is just breaking for you as you walk this path with your son! I am with you on the thoughts of the 'one off' comment. But lets hope and pray that it is a very short relapse and that you get your sober and clean son back!
