[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 497097, member: 3305"] Hi Stemmyt, I am so sorry you are going throught this with your son. Your son reminds me of myself as a teenager. I started drinking alone in my room at about the age of 13/14. I was extremely depressed and was certainly a budding alcoholic. I think getting son to a psychiatrist is a really good idea. You may find out that he has some kind of mood disorder like myself...don't know. I so wish medication had been sought, a psychiatrist had been sought when I was a teenager. Now, at 17 I did try to kill myself and was hospitalised for 4 months but I refused medication as I thought that was just for "crazy people"...Well, little did I know at the time that some 20 plus yrs later I would have a psychotic breakdown and be dxd with Bipolar and Pschosis. I am only relaying my own personal experience to tell you that I think the Pysch doctor visit is a REALLY good idea. I don't think your son wants to "be" this way. I think he is stuck and is hurting. Drinking alone at this young an age is a major red flag for me. Welcome to the board...Please keep us updated on son. LMS [/QUOTE]
