Hi behappy, as a single mom to teenagers, I can relate to your story. I admire you for being open to your son's pain; it's not an easy thing to hear. My teens are 19 and though I was never a 24/7 drinker, I drank enough in the evening sometimes that I was short-tempered and impatient. I went to rehab in October and have been sober since. My kids are really happy I stopped drinking because, like your son, they want their mom all of the time. You can heal together. As long as you remain open and receptive to their feelings, you're on the right path.
