I have experienced estrangement from all of my children intermittently over the last 20 years. The loss is worse than a death in some ways.

Hi and thank you. I've been in Alanon a long time, but I must admit it's been awhile since I've been in a room. Time to go back. Addiction is ALL around me, from my kids to their partners. Sometimes I just want to run away, but then I realize some addict would find me wherever I go. LOL Thanks for the prayers and well wishes. I'm hanging in there. Jayden
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL......
For many reasons. what is paramount right now is that my 41yo son is end stage alcoholic and is about to be homeless as he refuses to go to rehab, etc. I traveled to Ky 3 days ago for closure as he has been told he will die if he drinks. I am no stranger to living with this disease, but my son's life may end soon and the pain is more than I can bear. I have been a member of Alanon.20 years, but i am grieving what may be the imminent death of Aaron.
My adult son has recently been diagnosed bipolar after .25 years of alcoholism. The doctors believe he may have always been bipolar-rapid recycling and was self medicating with alcohol. In the last 5 years he has been on a downward spiral in general. Most recently didn't care if he lived anymore. increase in drinking, not sleeping nights at a time. His girlfriend regretfully had to leave because of his behavior. he was about to be homeless. he is now @ Ky East Sate Hosp.
