Stomach hurting, heart pounding
My alcoholic son has ignored me and my family, for almost a year now. Invitations ignored, almost no contact at all. He is almost 28 years old, has a very lucrative career, and is still on our cell phone plan and this month didn't pay his share of the cell phone bill, and ignored texts and emails asking about it. So we cut him off today. It's not about the money, it's about complete disregard for us. Oh boy....sparks may fly! But it is a consequence of his behavior that we did this. Let him deal, but oh gosh, how I hate that it's come to this. The truth is, I no longer know this boy, this man. I don't know him, and I suppose I haven't known him for quite some time. It's amazing how we lower our expectations of the alcoholic, and are grateful for the crumbs for so long. How in this world do we get here? I feel sick to my stomach, I really do.
