WOW.... thank God he is alive and didn't hurt anyone else either. Talk about a wake up call! Well as a mother I understand the need to protect our children. I also have 4 kiddos but they are younger. I dread the day I have to deal with the thought I have predisposed them to any harm let alone this awful disease of addiction. I do however believe that Kevin's higher power is with him as well. There really is nothing you can do but be careful about wanting to "protect" him from the consequences of what he does in active addiction/drinking. It may very well be that he has to experience these things in order to find the light of recovery, just like you and I have had to. Easier said than done Im sure. I know often times that even though you have your own recovery, relating things to your own child is totally different. Maybe you would benefit from Alanon. Good luck, you are in my prayers.
