You can do it! I hope the appointment goes well.
Hi cloel
Welcome. I am a single widowed mom so I know the pressure of parenting alone. No doubt our drinking is horrible for our Childs emotional development. Children of alcoholics often develop anxiety and low self esteem....not to mention anger issues. Sounds like he's pretty young but if you get concerned there is always therapy for him and Alateen as he grows older. Can really help.
