How do I support my son when everything in me recoils at his behaviour, lies, and offense
Oh House, I'm here too because of my son so can guess how you're feeling and my heart really goes out to you.
I've been on this journey now for over 3 years and can assure you that life does eventually get easier.
We managed to get our son in to therapy in the very early days and one of the things the therapist said was that my sons offending didn't define who he was. Yes I hate what my son did but I love my son unconditionallly. The reasons why our people do what they do are varied and complicated and it's these underlying factors that your son will need support in addressing.
You won't be able to use the private message facility on here yet, but once you can please feel free to message me any time. In the meantime, you need to look after yourself as it's a tough journey you're on.
