Thank you so much for replying, he has had a problem with drink since he was 18. Over the years we have had many battles with his drinking behaviour. We have sought professional help and for a short time he attended his sessions. He always goes back to it and we are just stuck in these cycles of excessive drinking. Last year he had a seizure which we suspect was down to his drinking his MRI scan was clear but he refused further treatment. He has bouts of deep depression and we feel completely helpless and fear we have lost our son. He started drinking excessively again about six weeks ago and he say”s he was stressed about work and money. He will not listen to us and becomes completely hostile and verbally aggressive. We are really worried about him and cannot see a way out of this self harm.
