Oh you poor thing, Sending you hugs and Life is so complicated at times.

I can understand why you might feel emotional on his birthday. Sad to remember the man he had been and how his gift of life was wasted through his dreadful illness - and you will have gone through so much. Just be kind to yourself.

Sometimes we just need to have a good cry. Perhaps we cry for what might or should have been, rather than the reality.

Alcoholism is an addiction, an illness and not a lifestyle choice, after all. Family and friends blame the victim in a cruel way that would never happen with anything else.

His family chose to desert him. You still have affection for the man you saw underneath the illness and you took responsibility for him. Now, you cry and grieve, because you care, and time will heal. Look after yourself.

I understand completely . Memories are brought to the fore. Take care.

Thank you all for your kindness. My son understands a little but my friends don't... I can understand in a way.
Over the past year's, I've coped quite well, even at the time of his death. I remember seeing him about 3 day's before and thinking that he was close to the end then.
This wave has come out of the blue in a way.
