Help for parents

Posted By Hydi Smith

"Help for parents"

About: NHS Borders

(as a relative),

My son lives at home with me, his mother, and don't know the right terminology but here goes.  As a drug user he tells me all the time I don't understand well he's probably right to a degree I don't and I have on a few occasions phoned up the doc in Peebles for help and there is no help for people like me.   I think there should be someone or a class we parents of drug children can get some help because it doesn't matter what age there still your children.
