Hi Psychokitty,
I just wanted to welcome you here... if you are anything like all of us here, you'll soon make SR a part of every day
My A is my husband, but I DID relate to your story. My husband is 29 now, and started drinking when he was 13 also. I can imagine that you are experiencing some of the same emotions as my mother-in-law... she loves her son sooo much, and is struggling thru the emotions of having an addicted son. So, in this way, I can talk to you as I would to her... I love my mother-in-law very much as well
Anyhow, I hope to see you around here more often... sharing and venting about YOUR struggles; consider us hundreds of open shoulders to cry on :p
Have you been to Alanon meetings? Can you get to one? The program is one of miracles when you are willing to "work it".
Take care kitty
Meg
