Hi Februarymarie
Thank you for your reply
We are all in the same leaky boat I think
I’m so sorry you are feeling alone at least you can say it out loud on this forum
It’s the helplessness knowing if the stop they will be better but they won’t
Your right they just go back to what they know which to us seems ridiculous why would anyone what to be so poorly
My son struggles with food when he’s drinking but soon eats when he stops drinking
All you can do is take him food and hope he can eat
Im glad he has some medical care
But tapper the drinking seems a difficult thing to do
My son always goes cold turkey which is bad the shaking the retching is frightening to watch
They are such enigmas so strong willed and so fragile
My other son doesn’t really bother with his brother he just worry’s he will take me down with him
He accepts that his brother is mentally ill
He has 3 boys a job and helps his wife run her dog grooming business
My partner is so good but wants us to have a life
So it is lonely
My son is relishing all the attention in the hospital
Having chest x rays and a Ct scan
All under the guise of Covid
God help the NHS
He said he had dye in his lung to check their function
I said to him you were fine on Friday
It’s the excessive alcohol that had done it
He believes is own BS
He only remember to ask how I was late on today …. Short of breath and coughing
At least I can’t travel
Please take care
Love and hugs Joanie xx
