      I was the wife of an alcoholic for 16 years.

      that ended in 2009.

      My son is now 21 and is showing signs of problems with alcohol.

      We talk openly and have a good relationship. He doesn’t live at home anymore but when he does visit home he sometimes drinks secretly and denies it.

      I am devastated, trying so hard to get my actions and wording right.

      Help please ????

      Hi, I have never posted on here before but read your post an it resonated with me.  My son is 20 and has had drinking issues for 5 years.  We too get on well but I am constantly on my guard and anxious when he goes out (he still lives at home).  Not sure I can offer any advice but wanted just to say I understand what you are going through.  I have learnt not to say anything when he is drunk and then tried to show him the error of his ways when he is sober.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t, but at least I have shown him I care.
