I am at my wits end and don't know where to turn. my son talked me into moving in with him and his girlfriend 4 months ago. he had been off drugs for awhile I thought. he said he wanted to take care of me and I thought maybe it would be good for him. his girlfriend has bi polar and gets a check for 700 dollars a month. mine is for 1100 dollars . I have ended up having to pay all the bills except the rent which his boss holds back for maintenance work he does . lights gas gro everything comes from me. he also has bi polar but cannot get anyone to take him seriously because of his addiction. that was bad enough but now the drug dealers are waiting outside at the stroke of midnight for their money he owes them. they sell it to him on credit because they know he has both our checks coming in. I am 70 years old and get around with a walking cane. I believe she is doing it too. today is just the 5th. 2 days since I got my check. they have already gone through half of it and there is none left to pay the bills. I have no where to go and just needed to let everyone know, never ever trust a
former addict with your money , no matter what they say. please pray for me.
Hi Grannie, I'm sorry to read what's happening to you. It could very well be any of us. You should try and find out if there are services for the elderly in your city. If there is you need to get in touch with someone from there to help get you into your own place. Senior housing or something. But I wouldn't let your son know where you move to so that you get peace. Good luck and here's hoping things work out for you. We're all here if you need us. Maybe someone else will have an idea of how to help you. Take care! Mary.
Grannie,
Please contact your local social services organization and let them know what's going on and get out of that situation. This is not how you should have to live your senior years. Trust me, most of us already know how addicts are. As one of us said awhile back, "He would steal the eyeballs out of my head if he could get drugs for them". It's sad that our children are like this. They should be taking care of their elderly parents. Please get help and don't stay in that situation.
Take care,
Michelle
