Hi I am back with some news that I hope will bring encouragement to other mums (and dads). My son’s alcoholism has been a source of great sorrow and worry over the last 5 years. He had got to the stage when he could no longer walk properly and his health was in danger. He has gone thru detox and is now in rehab – it is early days at just over 2 months but the change is dramatic. I am getting my lovely son back instead of the drunken abusive demon. He is actually asking after family members and is taking a pride in his appearance. Tough love was hard but I stuck to it always letting him know I loved him but I would not stand for any abuse or threats. I just hope and pray now that this recovery continues for him and I will continue to pray for you all – sending my best wishes and a big hug to you all.
