It's a shame people are quick to judge. I don't think you're a bad family and neither would anyone else here. It could happen to any family. You didn't chose for this to happen. Wow, the whole thing would have been so traumatic for you. I can't even begin to imagine.
Unfortunately he made some really bad choices, probably down to peer pressure, which meant that eventually it became something that he had couldn't control. Unlike some, he wasn't dangerous or mean because of his addiction, but he changed significantly, I miss the real Tyler. There was a few times where my Mum wouldn't let him inside our house because he was so angry it was scary for us, but I think compared to other people we're kind of lucky that didn't happen too much. I miss him so much.
I think because of the circumstances it is harder to accept because if it could been stopped things would be different, he made a choice go down that path, unlike an illness where you don't make that choice.unfortunately that choice was something that is very very hard to control and as I said, not his fault but those who supply. Really important to focus on the good times.
i don't even know how to comprehend whT you have been through. When is your next appointment? It is really important you speak openly with your counsellor. I hope you are able to.
THat is part of what makes it so hard, knowing that he did that to himself. Mum always taught us about that sort of thing and saying no, but it's not until you're in a situation like he was that you can understand, and I'll never understand, but I've learnt so much. I wish one day I could help people that have lost their way just like he did.
Gee your Mum sounds great. You could do volunteer work helping young kids. I'm guessing he thought he would just try it but before you know it, it takes a hold.
It makes me sick to know peoole out there are supplying this stuff to innocent kids, knowing what it will do. It breaks my heart.
Me too CMF, me too, they think they'll just try it and that will be it, the people that give it out know how awful it really can be,but are happy making money off these people that now have ruined lives and families that have to try and cope with there loved one struggling so badly, or not being here at all. It makes me so mad. Got the family dog here tonight, he's on my bed while I do some stuff for work, he's the best at cuddles.
Totally agree, makes me sad and angry too, these people who just want to try it out don't know the huge affect it will have, yet people who supply it know and make money off it. They make money of other people and their families pain of having to handle it or evenlosing a loved one.
Volunteer work sounds good, will look into it.
im up doing work stuff still, got the family dog over, he's on the bed with me
Today was busy and all I want to do is rest but I can't I have so much to do still.
Things with the new girl are going well. Was definitely going to keep it on the downlow for a while but then our friends found out, and also now I think my mum knows.
