[QUOTE="DDD, post: 103841, member: 35"] David, welcome aboard. Glad to meet you. Sorry you had to find us. on the other hand, you are really lucky to have found us as there is unliminted unconditional support available for all of us. I think you might find extra understanding in the Teen & S. A. forum area where alot of us hang out. We even have an anguished Dad who is a recovering alcoholic. Like you, he has suffered along side his son...perhaps more than is healthy. I am the "old lady" of the Board and I can tell you with total assurance that I am one tough Mama and business woman who already has raised a bunch of children. An occasional Cutty Sark and I have been able to cope without picking up my much missed cigarettes UNTIL this year. Whammo! Like you, all of a sudden I was spontaneously tearing up. I couldn't sleep and it was sheer heck trying to manage my business. Members of the Board encouraged me to get medication (something that I never expected to do) and it really really helped me cope and it helped me support my son more appropriately. For me it was Lexapro and it did wonders. After a few months I was able to taper back off and return to normal. To help your son, you really have to find a healthy way to help yourself. Sending supportive thoughts that you will call and make an appointment pronto. You need to be an example to your son...at least that is how I motivated myself to do it. DDD [/QUOTE]
