You have done a really hard thing but it was the right thing to do. You have made the safety of your son the most important thing.
For me, I love my own children so deeply that I cannot imagine my own parents not loving me with the same intensity but the hard fact is that the alcohol came first, I was not as important as the alcohol and the chaos it caused in our lives. It hurts.
In the early days when I first established my own boundaries, it helped me to keep reading and rereading the reasons why I had chosen my course of action.
Look after yourself. Sending you strength, IWTHxxx
