My son is 24. He is an alcoholic. Lives at home. Court ordered to complete evaluation and counseling he hasn't started counseling yet. Tonight I looked in his room and found a full bottle of vodka. He is drinking. He is furious I looked in his room. But it's our house and our boundary was no drinking here. He says he is moving out. He has no where to go. I am such a pushover and don't know why I care. He is telling me I am out to get him and have no right to search his room and my boundaries are stupid. I have no response. I am heading out the door to an alanon meeting. I am too sad yo cry. He keeps say ho
*((Wendy))) Welcome I am glad that you found us and are attending alanon face to face metings. Dealing with this dreadful disease in a child is extremely difficult .. I can so understand your pain and frustration. I found that by accepting that alcoholism was a 3 fold disease over which I was powerlesa helped me to understand and accept that the insanity that i was living with was the disease and becoming angry and upset at an ilnes was a waste of time[Detaching with love and not engaging helped greatly
