      my husband is an alcoholic but in denile. About two years ago i got him into hospital because he started to see things this really frightened me. he was in hospital for weeks and he then acepted he was an alcoholic. He took all the tablets they gave him he decided to drink none alcohol bear but then he went on to other things he drinks brandy as well as beer. He hides it all over the house he is now in denile. I have told his sons they came emptied all the bottles down the sink but of course it makes no differents.

      The biggest thing here is the manipulation…..ive read and re read other parents say exactly the same thing. My son has said it in the past… Please please please, start thinking about your own well being… I dont give my son a penny and havent for around 6 months…..Yesterday i took him 2 bags of shopping round..(hes staying with his ex)….Drugs are the evilest thing in this world, they change peoples characters, make them lie, cheat, steal…..come on concerned mum, you can get through this..DONT give up…dont give in, and dont be part of his lying….massive hugs xxxxx

      Thank you im bawling my eyes out as i right this…problem is my son is squatting so cant take him food to cook…feel terible that he is in this situation but i had to involve social services some years ago because of risks he was imposing on his then baby brother….they assisted him get his own flat because he was under eighteen he never paiid any bills no water no gas no electri council tax etc etc all he had to do was buy food from his benefits…the place they give him was fully furnished and everyone rallied round to get him set up…..it turned into a drug den…its trashed and he has been evicted because now he is over eighteen there is no obligation from social services to assist him…am worried sick about him ….he still blows all his money and comes to me for food and constantly gives me grief blaming me for the fact he is homeless….excuse the expression but i feel like shit….I feel like i had to choose between him and keeping his baby bro safe and although i know what i did was right its still horrible

      Aww bless, its difficult……we want whats best for our kids…I have found it so much better for my health since I told my son I would have no part of his life,and didnt want him bringing it our door..he is more than welcome to come when hes not on anything and last Saturday was a prime example of us telling him to leave..he didnt like it, but he knew and left……I love my son, but I WILL NOT give in to his manipulation, lies and deceit…..Dont get me wrong its hard, but he is an adult, and he makes his choices…..I just choose not to be part of that!!!!!! He can blame you forever more luv, but the only person to blame is HIMSELF…….

      Well since my last post in July I was diagnosed with cancer I had my operation during this time I was confined to my room to rest my husband really looked after me .but after a while he started drinking again. When my treatment came to an end my husband was diagnosed with cancer of the bladder we could not believe that both of us had cancer. He had the operation he had to go for chemo the doctor went mad at him for drinking he said because of his drinking they could only risk a little chemo but they said he must not drink at all before or during or after treatment.his treatment Finnish four weeks ago heis suffering side effects of his treatment I was so proud of him not drinking as I thought. On Wednesday night of this week I was letting the dog out and he had put a walking stuck near the door near the back of my dryer I thought this strange so I got a torch to investigate there it was a brandy bottle he had purchased that afternoon nearly all gone. I really do not know what to do . Shall I confront him or should I wait until another bottle appears imam really worried he looks awful going to bed at 5 pm not feeling right no wonder his treatment is still working so how will the drink effect it now
