Hi Joanie it’s really hard on you that your son uses the threat of relapse to keep you with him. He’s done well in getting to 8 weeks without a drink but I guess you’ve got your hopes up lots of times before. I know with my son, when he gets clean, it’s hard to enjoy it because I am looking out for the slightest hint of a relapse.
When I read one of your earlier posts you said your son is 50, until then it hadn’t occurred to me that this situation could continue for another 20 years or more.
I hope things get easier and you can enjoy life more on your terms x
