      My grown up alcoholic son us currently staying with me for a few days after being made homeless after a suicide attempt. I’m really struggling with everything. He’s drinking in the morning. Usually cheap cider but I’m finding the booze as he has no money and is likely to suffer fits from withdrawing if he doesn’t drink. He has done in the past .Me and hubby are treading on eggshells for fear of another suicide attempt. The last one was a serious attempt and he was lucky to survive. He has mental health issues and self harms badly. Anyone able to throw any advice my way? Thanks in advance
