Drug Problems
My son is now 33 years old and has been injecting ‘Mcat’ (methadrone) no to be confused with methadone for about a year and a half now.
He has always experimented with drugs and alcohol but this latest adventure was going to kill him if I didn’t intervene.
I live in France and decided that I should ask him to come over here and get away from the city he was in. So many dealers, and friends that took drugs, he was surrounded by a destructive culture.
Luckily he decided to come across. I picked him up from the airport, very happy to see him but slightly worried about how his stay with me might turn out:
I am really happy to report that so far so good. He has not injected for over three weeks now and has been a pleasure to have here. He has had a few sleepless nights and other minor problems and is feeling a little down at the moment but nothing we cannot sort out. I would like him to stay for as long as it takes, but how long is a piece of string!
To add to his problems he was on probation in England and had to break this to come here but as a friend of mine said breaking probation is an offence, but he needed to do this to save his life so he had no choice as such;
When he goes back to England he will hand himself in and explain to the police why he left, I only hope people will be fair with him.
He hasn’t in some ways got a lot to look forward to. He can’t get a job here because of the language barrier and when he goes back to England he will be arrested (but he knew this). Hopefully they will just extend his probation and he will find a job. The most important thing for him to do at the moment it to stay off drugs and when he gets back to his home town this is going to be a big test for him.
He is an adult now, not a child and I will always be here for him no matter what.
I will keep in touch and let you know how he progresses, just hope and pray he sees his way though all this.
Thank you for reading this.
hello there,
Just good news to report,……………. my son is getting stronger and stronger. He is learning the *french language and with a bit of luck and hard work should have a decent job soon! With hard work love and respect it can be done, oh and the right environment! so so happy for him x
Hello, An update on my son’s situation……………
He is doing very well here in France and has wanted me to let you know his name, It is Guy James Rowe.
He is working through his problems with me in France and has the expert help of Paul Parkin, who is a God send. I am not sure how the authorities back in England will feel about the situation but I am hoping they will understand. We have not hidden anything from them and all we want as parents is to help Guy get on the right track and with Paul’s help and doctors from France plus a lot of effort from Guy himself we should be able to turn his life around. Thank God.
He has been keeping himself busy working for me and riding horses and taking his bike out and also walking my three dogs. He will soon be working part time as a ‘lumberjack’ if all goes according to plan.
Just a big thank you to Paul Parkin for all his help and hopefully future help
Well hello everyone!
Everything is going very well so far. I am sure that the legal lot in England are doing their nuts but then they have to do something do they not! I am naughty. As a parent I simply had to try and save my son from getting even deeper into drugs. He was really on a’trip’ in to hell. He is now doing very well and it is 2 months done the line and he still hasn’t touched the hard stuff Thank God. Hopefully he never will again. We all have a lot of lessons to learn in life and this will a big one for him. I expect him to stay strong and keep going forward to a better and different life. I hope he will manage this with the help and love from certain folk and his own will power and common sense. Time will tell! Signing off………….. be back soon, take care everyone.
