My son is married but his wife finds it hard to be supportive. She’s of the mind set that he should be able to “just quit drinking”. I do talk to him almost daily. Sometimes our phone conversations make me sad because I can tell he’s been drinking by the sound of his voice.
I do agree that prayer is all that keeps me strong. Without that, my hope would be gone at this point.
I don’t really talk to anyone about him because like so many people, I feel they might be too judgemental.
I have a really good family but my 2 daughters have nothing to do with their brother because of his drinking. I’m very close to my daughters but it’s hard to talk to them because of how they disapprove of my son.
I’m glad I found this site for a place to at least vent my frustrations and fears.
