[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 669803, member: 15801"] I so sympathize....our son has put us through the wringer and at times it was really terrible.... I will say though I have learned a great deal about myself and have become a better person for it all. I hope it doesnt come to kicking him out either....you should check into laws etc in your state because in many places you cant kick a child out when they are under 18 etc. The other thing is if it does get to that, that doesnt mean you stop loving him or letting him know you love him.... just that sometimes you have to take a tough line because you love them so much. Also to give you a ray of hope... we have been through a lot with my son starting at about the age 14. It is now 10 years later and he has just turned 24..... after many twists and turns in this journey he came to realize himself that he had an alcohol problem, has gotten help and is doing much much better.... and our relationship is much better too. He is still new in recovery so it is too soon to tell much but there is hope in this long difficult path you are currently on. [/QUOTE]
