i can't stand my own son
I am really down today because i hate to admit it but I really can't stand my own son this is so hard for me to have such conflicting feelings toward one person but part of me despises him and the other part of me loves him so much. I am so sick and tired of his bullshit this weekends episode is drinking again to the point of passing out at his friends house with a houseload of people most of which he doesn't even know and some piece of shit decides to steal his wallet and cell phone ok so he has to buy a new phone thats his problem but his drivers license is gone and he can't get into any of the buildings he works in in the city without a photo I. D. so now thats a whole new set of problems cause he works with ny husband and now my husband has to explain why his son can't work untill his new license comes and the biggest problem is he thinks this is no big deal well it is he is such a selfish one way person his attitude has gotten worse instead of better since he has stopped using drugs i don't get it what is wrong with him actually i do get it he is a self centered person who has already put us through so much so I guess to him this is no big deal.

Hi Dee,
I know how you feel I was there. You don\'t hate Matt your son you hate Matt the addict. It took me a long time to decipher the two, Dee he really needs help, the drinking is as bad as the drugs. Eventually if Not already the drinking isn\'t enough for them, they want more of an high. Dee you need to understand whether it\'s drinking or drugs he is an addict and the truth of the matter is and ask anyone alcoholism is worse than drugs because it\'s more socially acceptable. He needs to go in patient, and he needs to be away from the this. What is wrong with your son is the same that is wrong with everyones loved one o. This site, he is an addict and until he wants to get help its not going to stop. You need to give him boundaries Dee, I know it\'s hard but remember what Sean said sometimes when we think we are helping we are enabling. I\'m here for you always, back from Europe so please give me a call if you would like, xxoo
