Hi- I hear you. I share your pain. My story is a 38 year old alcoholic son for the last 8-10 years. Right now he ‘s not really even talking to me. He doesn’t “need” me anymore because I don’t give him money or enable him anymore. It’s so very hard to cut them off. It makes you feel like a terrible parent, but I can tell you that all the things I’ve given him and done for him have not changed his drinking at all- it’s just prolonged it. I’m just really trying to save my own life. The toll this takes is unbearable. Big hugs to you. ❤
