Regarding my son, I took him to the one and only Alateen in town and he was the only one present. We tried a family Alanon, we didn't like it because one of the men said the only way to stop an alcoholic is to put a 45 caliber in him. My son was turned off and so was I. Now I am attending a womens only Alanon and it seems okay. My son doesn't want to try anymore. I am trying to get him to a speakers meeting today, and hopefully try a mens only Alanon later in the week. Eventually, I would like both of us to attend an AA meeting just to understand what they are going through. Doubletime: I see how hard it has been for my son so I can only imagine it is harder for your son at the young age of 10 yrs. old. You do seem like a good and smart mother (I used to cry al the time and it made it harder for my son) I wish both of you the best. Anyway, we are going to Victoria, B.C. we will take the ferry. Because I have 10 days off, we will also stop at Seattle, WA. We need to relax and I hope this will help.
