Dear CC
The group is indeed on tomorrow night and I look forward to ‘seeing’ you there.
Even though you have received unhelpful advice it is probably well meant – people can’t be expected to understand. It sounds as though the person who offered you an escape key might be the support on the ground that you could do with. I think if you can find a Gamanon in your area that would help you too.
When an addiction is in full spate it is indeed a terrible noise and the words can be frightening and disturbing. Your son’s addiction is throwing everything at you to make you budge and no matter what your response is, you will be understood here.
Delete the texts, every time you read them they will only bring you pain.
No matter what has happened CC, bring it to the group tomorrow evening and let it all out, safe in the knowledge that nobody is judging your son or misunderstanding you.
You can always contact our Helpline during the day – I know you will get a lot of support there.
Thinking about you
Velvet
