My older son said he wasn't going to do it again...
He took 600ml (overdose = 1000ml.)
Right near the time when Heath Ledger did..
I almost lost my firstborn for good...
He was fortunately found in time...
He said it was only being found that caused his heart
to need defibrulation . He choked on vomit and convulsed.
The ambulance officers deserve praise.for reviving his heartbeat.
An 11 year girl found him (he was just in undies)
He had to ring a respected friend to get him home.
My heart is soooooo sad at his downfall in 3 months
from v....., and abstainer... to experimentor and indulger
and plunger into the depths of despair.
Sorry for expressing it in this way but my heart is in agony..
I tried to be with him so he was not alone...and now his
lil bro is with him and they seem to have reversed roles...
He expresses a great worthlessness.
Please I don't want any comments on my opinion of this
I just had to get it out...sorry if that is selfish but I can't take
any criticism .....I feel under attack...(dramatic I know but
that is me that I own)

Julia, I put my parents through the same hell...now that I have myself cleaned up, it is one of the things I regret the most--causing them that much pain. I am sorry you are going through this. I wish there was something I could do to make it better. In the very least, know that I care and you are not alone. Feel free to PM me if you ever want to chat.

Julia, I don't think anyone in this forum would pass judgement. We're all a little too guilty of too much for that.

I am so sorry for what's happening to your son. It's a terrible disease. It's not your fault. It sounds like you've been doing all you can as a parent. My heart goes out to you.

Ohhh everyone you have touched my heart.
These sort of comments are very appreciated.
IRL some ppl have been saying it's because
he's been caring for his lil brother.
Big br = 26 lil br = 20
But my big son says he feels a bit better since
lil br got out of psych hospital...not so alone..
I have discussed with my hubby about moving to Qld
but it seems to be not possible.
Hubby says a 26 yr old should wisen up...
I suppose hubby forgets what he was at 26...
My big son just got a piano and will take piano lessons
this is a good sign....
lil son already can play (like moonlight sonata etc.)
So;
Zorah ..thanks you already do much for me
re my spirits and heart condition (just meaning inner smiles)
DePressMe thanks for your concern
Perna thanks
Chalmette I know you have empathy so thankyou
Cyrano respect  Dexxies-DXM
January  Dexxies-DXM
Rainbowzz (rainbows are amongst my favourites)
 Dexxies-DXM

respect to you all...Jjulia
