[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 718051, member: 15032"] So sorry LBL. I know how tough this is!! I think that my brain has made me forget some of it because it is too painful. I have a hard time "going there" anymore but when I read your stories I am right there with you. I know the feeling that comes over your entire body and it is awful. It's almost an internal tremble. It actually reminds me of my childhood when my mother would be drunk and she would antagonize my father and he would beat her. I was a young child and alone and felt helpless and terrified and that is exactly how I felt with my son. My parents were good people but not good together. I spoke to an old friend on Friday. Her father was an alcoholic all his life but he did stop drinking the last 15 years of his life so she did get the opportunity to get to know him and have a relationship with him. She does understand addiction. She told me that I have done everything that I could do for my son and no matter what the outcome, I have to be okay with that. I am staying that to you also. You are doing everything that you can for your son. It is evident that you love him with all your heart. Stay strong and take care of you and hubby. You matter too. :group-hug: [/QUOTE]
