It is so tough but I realised that I was giving money to the addiction not my son so said no and meant it. He has been taken away from the family home by the local police who also warned him about his behaviour. They were fantastic and very supportive. It took a couple of months for the message to sink in but he no longer comes making trouble. BUT all my hopes of a glimmer of recovery have gone as he has met a girl who is also an alcoholic (with mental health issues) and the cooking, football and other interests have all stopped. They just shuffle around with their cans of cider tucked under their arms and have no ambitions or hopes just a terrible day to day existance. So the nightmare goes on………..
