Hi Boss
I’ve been reading your thread, I’m so sorry to read your situation because of his addiction.
So many of us mums writing on the forum worried about the heartache and emotional difficulties caused by their sons (mostly sons). Click on share your story and read Theresa thread . We’re all pretty much in the same boat. The good thing is that we all understand each other and give support and advice where needed.
You will realise that you are not alone and that people care.
Your son is lashing out because of the effects of drugs and drink . Everyone else is to blame, they reckon, it is totally not our fault!
Only they can stop this, to admit they have a problem and seek help and support.
I agree, cutting off will be difficult. Might be the means to an end, but what choice do you have at this stage?
It’s not that you don’t like him, it’s the choices he’s making you don’t like, as we love our children unconditionally. Don’t be too hard on yourself, it will get better, find time for yourself when you can.
Read the other threads, there are people in recovery offering support and advice too, some good success stories.
Don’t give up hope, be strong.
