A male family member who hides alot called me yesterday morning. I was aware he was due in court end of January to be evicted from his flat. He got in with a dodgy crowd last year. It sounds like there was some damage to a door and window. But also he's had various friends staying from the drug world.
He was meant to leave yesterday but said he'd still not had any court paperwork through so couldn't go to the council. The landlord from the sounds of things messaged asking a time for keys. He also claimed he'd spoken to the landlord who was returning today.
I'm just curious what will happen now. So the family can prepare for any attempts at using us.
What has sort of bothered me is 3 weeks ago he stopped talking to me. He didn't like my opinion on him always having a friend around there and not answering calls to loved ones and lying about people being with him. Yesterday he said he'd be sleeping on a bench. So I said my sofa was available for one night. But I also said I was cooking a stew and to let me know if he was going to be staying. He said he'd let me know by half 4. I had to call him at gone 5. Where he hesitated but said he'd come eat with me but had to get back to sort stuff. He took ages to arrive! Only stayed around an hour from 6.45. He said he would message to let me know he got home OK. He didn't. I tried calling him at 10pm. He didn't answer.
When he was here he had clearly had a haircut and was happy enough. Talking about these friends he's met at a local church hall where you go eat. He also has been taught tricks how to say he has a misses and a child to get more food at the food bank. He seems very much happy with his new life and doesn't seem to care any longer for me. I'm annoyed at myself really because I felt sorry for him yesterday and he wasn't interested at all in doing a basic thing like saying I'm home safe thank you.
I am sorry I'm rambling and fully get that addicts are like this. But it still is sad. He was a different man 6 months ago.
