Alcohol has played a large part in my life. My father was an alcoholic and depressive . I also had a drink problem which fortunately I managed to control before too much damage to myself and my family was done. The sad thing is.my eldest son has a bad relationship with alcohol and my daughter showed signs of intolerance as well. Devastatingly she was killed in a car crash four years ago. (if ever a time to hit the bottle...but I didn't). So my problem is ..."been there , got the t shirt.,done it all and know more than most about drinking" but feel that no one,mainly my son, wants go listen and learn from my.mistakes and thus stop his life from slipping down the slippery slope. How do I approach him...tough love ...it's scary.? Al anon for families.. But they don't give advice. I know in my heart that people will say that he has to learn his own Lesson and make his own mistakes. But it's exhausting and I go from loving him to hating him for putting me through nightmares...dreading phone calls ..looking for signs? I actually feel rather selfish for writing this, but am I so wrong for me to wish he would for once say..I should take a leaf out of Mums book. I must say that he is a good man, who should have everything going for him. I know what you are all going to say, but perhaps there is someone out there in the same boat!
