What can I say; the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree, does it?
Now it somehow becomes incumbent on me to do the same.
I kindof hate how all this works.
He does not have to face infedelity. How lucky he is.
Time for real truth and consequences for me. ugg.......

What happened, Jerry? How old is your boy?

You know,
In spite of how i may have slammed you the other day,
what you have said has humbled me once more.
If only I could zip my mouth, I could actually make more sence.
thank you Darius and all whom I don't deserve a responce from.

Hi Mel.
He will be thirty this year, but in spite or 16 years of sobriery and no alcohol in my house, he found his own way to get drunk and become an alcoholic.
Makes you wonder about that genetic factor, doesn't it?

Well, this is good news, then! This means he has a problem and is getting help. Did you know he had a problem, Jerry?

Of course,
For many years like any other parent, but I could never see how I contributed to it because of my long term sobriery.
It's very despariging to think i somehow lead him to this in spite of my long term sobriety????
I have no answers!!!!

Jerry, believe me, you don't have to feel bad about that, we all have issues. Neither your son or yourself are guilty for living these hard situations..
I'm 27 and I know for the experience I've had in my life EVERY SINGLE situation happens for a divine purpuose, I know God is already in the middle of all this mess.
It's been a month (TO THE DATE) since my girlfriend was unfaithful, actually right in this precise moment, nearly 21 days she was in the hotel room's being being unfaithful and throwing away all my trust and my love for LIFE, but Jesus has restored me ! I went to the church last sunday and I knew the message spoken by the minister was directed to us. I'm aware he's already taking care of the situation and since he's almighty I KNOW and I have FAITH he will fix what through our human eyes seems to be impossible...It's all about trust in the lord, her trip changed my life and even when I still remember and the movie still plays in my head quite a few times I'm here standing over the hill of justice and success thanks to my lord !
God Bless and count on me for whatever you need...

Jerry Jerry, you didn't pick up that drink for him; he did that ALL ON HIS OWN! Don't blame yourself, my friend! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey shinethrough ........at least something is being done! My family is riddled with addictions, but far and few EVER acknowledged it (in any constructive way) OR did anything positive to address it. I wish you and he Only Success in Dealing with this destructive force! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
