How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

The following are real extracts from actual complaint letters sent to various councils and housing associations throughout the UK. What a literate bunch we Brits truly are!

I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my knob off.

I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage, and their 18 year old son is continually banging his balls against my fence.

I wish to report that tiles are missing from the outside toilet roof. I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off.

My lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand.

I am writing on behalf of my sink, which is coming away from the wall.

Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant. We are getting married in September and we would like it in the garden before we move into the house.

I request permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.

50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and the rest are plain filthy.

I am still having problems with smoke in my new drawers.

The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.

Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.

Our lavatory seat is broken in half and is now in three pieces.

Would you please send a man to repair my spout. I am an old age pensioner and need it badly.

I want to complain about the farmer across the road; every morning at 6am his cock wakes me up, and its now getting too much for me.

The man next door has a large erection in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.

Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so please send someone round to do something about it.

I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would you please do something about the noise made by the man I have on top of me every night.

Please send a man with the right tool to finish the job and satisfy my wife.

I have had the clerk of the works down on the floor six times but I still have no satisfaction.

This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broken and we can`t get BBC2.

My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it, and he`s got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can’t take it anymore.

… that is his excuse for dogs mess that I find hard to swallow.

My now ex sister in law has cut my whole family out of her and her sons life (he is 1). i haven’t seen him since he was 1 month old. My brother is a drug addict, I supported her divorcing him, but she ended up deciding she cannot “fully” cut my brother out of her life and move on unless she cuts us all out. My brother happily signed over his parental rights. I always had hope she would talk to me again and I’d see my nephew again, but I found out today that she is getting married and that her fiance actually adopted my nephew right after my brother gave up his rights. Now it’s pretty much sunk in there is no reason she would ever talk to me again. I was really attached to her and especially to my nephew, because I was her labor coach I was there when the baby was born and was one of the first people to hold him, and we just were extremely close during her whole pregnancy and after. I also had a miscarriage right around when my nephew was born, and I think that made me more emotional too. I just am having a hard time dealing with this. I’ve tried to contact her many times over the past year and she just ignores me. How can I move on?
while i appreciate the sympathy, some advice on how to move on would be nice. i already blame my brother plenty, but that doesn’t help me move on.

My 18 year old son is addicted to crack cocaine. I have tried to watch him; tried threatening; tried cutting off communication; nothing works. He now has stolen from me and he’s sitting in jail. I know he needs treatment, but ppl are saying its a lost cause; some say there is hope and some say he will always use. Is there any hope for recovery? Honestly?
