To J48. I am so sorry for your loss. How courageous of you to be able to share your story and offers of help and advice to others like myself who are suffering. My son who is 40 is the alcoholic. My husband and I have tried every way to help him and get him to accept that he has a life threatening addiction to alcohol. He’s still it seems under a delusion that he can have a few pints and then stop regardless of the fact that this has never been the case for the past 20 years or so. He’s back living with us now having lost a very good job because of absenteeism due to drinking. My poor husband who is 83 has dementia and I try to protect him from what’s happening in our son’s life. I’m currently his sole carer so I have no hesitation in admitting life is extremely tough right now.

I pray you can start to regain some peace in your life and also your young son.

Thank you again for sharing your very sad story and God bless you both
