Hi everyone,
I have been providing a home for my son, my home, and I lost it today. Feel really bad but I had been asking him for weeks (after the house became smelly etc. from the odours emitting from his room). I just finished cleaning up such a mess!!!
He has psychsocial problems from drugs, he is 36 now and it all started when he was 11 and got into bad company. He has psychosis and his doctor suspects schizophrenia.
Its no use arguing with him as he just doesnt get it.
I am on a disability pension myself as a result of a workplace incident 6 years ago. I've been diagnosed with PTSD. I have worked most of my life.
He tries to put it back to me as though I am the problem. I wondered where all my dishes and forks were going? Yes the yukky cups, plates etc. in and around his bed. I dont smoke, drink and have never used drugs that are illegal. His choices were heroin, and ice and anything else he could get his hands on. Now its alcohol one bottle every two days.
I noticed the biros that were taken apart and I know they are drug paraphenalia but he denies it. I feel overwhelmed and as though I need some respite.
Im glad I can speak to you girls and guys out there.......its helps.
