I was out of control, but still I couldn’t stop.
Ian and his fiancée Jen ‘If you don’t go to rehab, you will never see me and our son again.’ That was the ultimatum my partner, Jen, gave me in May 2023. And I was furious. ‘You can’t do that.’ I spat back at her. ‘You’re using our son against me. You’re using him as a weapon.’ Back then I was blinded by my dependence on drink and drugs, but now I can see she was just trying to do right by our son. In fact, if it weren’t for her stern words, I’d probably be dead.
When I was really desperate, I was helping to sell stolen goods to afford my habit. My son was born in October 2022, but I felt nothing, and for the first few months of his life, I actively avoided being alone with him. This upset Jen and by March 2023, we split and I moved out. Alone again my drug use worsened. The only thing that brought me back to reality, even if only briefly, was not wanting to abandon my son completely.
