Many of you have read my story or living my life. A addict son for 20 years. He has had many surgeries on his arm and still need more. He called after 6 weeks says in rehab. Well I'm sceptical as its another story I usually get. Well last Sat I was called by his case worker. She said he needed $150 for co pay to get skin graft . I drilled her about his cAse. She said he was doing great and wasn't allowed money
He had to follow the classes still I was not convinced and after hour of discussing why it had to be this day. Apparently surgery was schedule Sunday With
apprehension I wired the money with a promise of receipt from her office. It's a week later still nothing. I have phone number and its her voice mail. But nothing from her yet.
Now I see a stupid fb page that this case worker and my son married! Then in next line she is partying on beach single. My son close his fb page he Said to much drama on FB. Then this crap pops up jeremy married to this girl and she tagged him in it .
I really am over the manipulation or so I thought.I was con again. I'm so mad at myself for giving in again and feel stupid for being gullible. I worked a full week for that money half my pay check !! When will I learn!! I'm to ashamed to tell anyone in my family including my husband!
I just needed to rant.
Please forgive yourself. Re-read all the posts from those who are/were addicts; they say how good they were at lying and manipulating--it's true. We are not perfect and giving in again is our "relapse;" we have to come out of it more determined. It is our message to ourselves that we need to go meetings and continue to fortify ourselves one day at a time.
Please do not be too hard on yourself. We've all been through it. My son tries to manipulate me almost daily. Learn from this and be stronger in the next situation. His addiction, his health, his money situation....none of that are your responsibility. I say this to myself every day...sometimes multiple times. God bless you.
