[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 564401, member: 1233"] Not sure what others would say, but I think maybe he needs this from you. Needs to know that you will NOT tolerate being abused, and that until he changes then he doesn't need to contact you. If 2 or 3 yrs is what seems right, then that is what is right for you. Sometimes we have to recognize that it is not healthy to have someone in our lives, and we have to act on that. 22 year olds can be very immature, but that is not universal. I hope this is the shock he needs and he will seek help and change. Do what feels right, and don't give in and tolerate his abuse. You will worry and fret about him because you are his mom, but you do not have to tolerate his behavior. I hope that you do talk to a therapist to help come to grips iwth this. I think alanon would also be a good thing for you because it will help you deal with how his alcohol abuse affects you. I know it was hard. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
