I am a member of NA, I have been clean for 80 days. Although my son is not. I found out while I was in treatment and before treatment he had been taking money out of my account, forging checks and has sold a number of items in our home. It has gotten so bad that I had to have him arrested. He is out pending trial and is living with friends. Cleaning up his room I found many needles, bank receipts, etc. All of the mortgage payments for the past 3 months were taken out of the mail and thrown away.
I haven't seen him since the police took him but my husband has taken him his clothes, some food and a couple of bucks. Every day I find more, more things he has stolen and sold, more money missing from my account and his Grandmothers.
My family has disowned me, they think I have done this and I am blaming my son. Everything came to a head on Christmas Eve, today is my birthday and I was so hoping by this day I would be off of the prescription pills and will have started a new life.
I was on some heavy pain meds and after a while I found they didn't work any longer unless I took more. I found out the hard way I couldn't just stop on my own. I got help and am using non narcotic medication for my pain.
But my nightmare isn't over. My son is very sick. It's not even him anymore. The young man they took out of my home on Christmas Eve is not him.
I begged the court to please put him a medical rehab facility. He needs help not jail. At times I just wish I wasn't here any more. He is constantly leaving me messages on how hard his life is. That he is hungry, and cold. I was told not to talk to him, not to help him.
Any correspondence has been done through my husband. Last night he sent another of his messages telling me how lucky I am. I get to sleep on a bed and don't go to bed hungry.
I Lost it. I had to have my husband hid anything sharp.
I know he is trying to get me to call him or help him. He knows how to get to me.
I am losing my strength.
