In my younger years I was very resentful that my mother was an alcoholic and made very bad choices with me...they were all drunks...and one was a real winner, very verbally and physically abusive.

It took me years to finally forgive her. I realized that she was codependant and very immature and that she could not see how her bad choices were affecting me. My mother still has a teeny bopper mentally, has to have a guy, or she is just not whole, however the man she is with now is ok.

Give your son time, let him see the positive changes you are making in your life, in time he will have a better understanding and surely will forgive you.
