My son and I were so very close, it makes the separation that much more intense. He tells me I’m the most important person to him and I’m all he has, which sadly, is somewhat true. He’s pushed everyone away including his family. He has no friends at this time. And of course, if I’m so important to him, why does he hurt me so bad? Because he’s addicted to alcohol and that’s the most important thing in his life. He doesn’t blame me for his problems, but he definitely takes it out on me. I’m at a point where I’m distancing myself from him because I know that’s what’s for best for me.
My husband, tells me to just stop thinking about him, its so difficult for me.
I’m so, so, very grateful to have found this place. You experience so many shocking things with an addict- some things you can’t even tell people.
