Hi Bruce, thanks for your reply .. so how did you break the cycle of hitting the bottle when his behaviour got to you ...?? I have identified it as my main trigger (though stop short of 'blaming' my son whom I love with all my heart). But it is very difficult .. When these episodes happen I need to stand back and let us both calm down and do something else - I have taken to going on bike rides when I can feel the tension rising .. But I'd appreciate any top tips from you ..These autistic/autistic spectrum behaviours can try the patience of saint !
But my immediate problems is ironically not that .. I am 1000s of miles away from home and my son and so have NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER..!!
I'll check in to SR later (it is the beginning of the day here). I am determined to stay sober today and need your help please.
Take care Bruce and, once again, thank you for replying.
