I have a 29 year old son that has a pretty good drinking problem that has caused him a lot of problems and troubles for the last 10 years. Most of those ten years he has lived away from me in another state where he constantly finds himself in one crisis after another. His drinking problem is most likely a secondary problem to his anxiety and depression...all undiagnosed and un treated. He is currently in the process of his girlfriend leaving him and he finds himself in a temporary Airbnb and currently unemployed. I have not bailed out my son in a few years now but the fear and anxiety overwhelmes me at times like these and it is so unnerving. He has not asked me for anything, yet, but I know nothing has changed within him and now that this major loss is on his doorstep I can only imagine that he will turn to his only tried and true method of dealing with his emotions by way of drinking/suicidal ideations and hopelessness that will overtake him once again. As a mother it's too much to think about. I'm scared for him and I'm having a hard time releasing the fear so I can go to sleep. I guess I'm just writing this just to get my thoughts out there and that hopefully someone will be able to relate and chime in.
