I rang his key worker who said to report him missing. I decided i would try one more place, i took my sister's car and went to his ''friends house''(all drugs of course). I know how sneaky he can be and true enough i found the car parked at the far end of estate. So i went back home packed kids up and my sister left me in only to find the car gone. As soon as we drove round KH came in with his friend in the car. Anyway we've had a showdown and i got the keys off him. he's been told not to come back. Kids seen the whole thing and i've told them he won't be back. I rang his CPN to explain everything and he's stated that if KH appears at the house i'm to ring 999. His parents are on holiday and have there phone off but i'm sure they'll ring yet.

So he's alive and off his head.:( No answers to my question and he walked on with his so called friend. I shouted everything out in the estate which i probably shouldn't have done, gone and shown myself up now.

I've been reading this today and I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. Good luck with everything and stay strong - if not for yourself, then definitely for your children.
