Oh nannyger I’m so sad for you.
I think your right about trying to compartmentalise his issues but as we know it’s easier said than done. But we all have to try.
My son has been drinking since boxing day. He came back drunk yesterday and then flipped I to bed when he woke he said he wasnt going to drink….. it of course today he has now come.home and collapsed into the fast food he bought.
Weve left him there …we are fortunate that our house is large enough to distance my youngest he is unaware of it all sitting eating g pizza watching a movie in another room.
I hope when my other son wakes he just heads to his bed and sleeps it off.
It is the constant presence that is so depressing..even when I’m out and “enjoying” myself it’s never far from my mind.
I try to take positives from it where I can…so today I spent quality time with my younger son and because my addict kept till midday and then went out most of the day was peaceful.
Love to all of ypu and just hang on in therexx
