I entered recovery when I aged out of foster care by walking into an emergency room and accepting a referral to a community funded program as I had no insurance either. I have been clean and sober continuously since 1996. There are more community funded programs available now than there were then. It wasn’t pretty, there wasn’t an infinity pool, or even a doctor, but it was enough for a guy in terrible shape.

I hope you have found help! It’s so hard and it’s hard for them to change. You need a vacation from the drama to rest your soul. And a good person to talk to.

My daughter is a 44 yr old alcoholic. It’s been horrible for years. I feel like I’m in some kind of vortex just the two of us with her feeling sorry for herself torturing me. I’m in the process of taking custody of my grandkids now. We had millions of fights, blame games, kids scared, broken relationships and of course jail and prison. As a parent I have to fight off the guilt. I have tried and helped and tried and helped since her high school days… no progress. I’m ready to move away for my sanity. Seriously . I understand .

I’m sick of being strong.
I’m sick of trying to do the right thing and getting nothing but shit on.

I can definitely relate to this comment. Why did I think all would be fixed if my husband stopped drinking. I know part of the problem is that I have been accepting the rageful behaviour for 25 years, so it is difficult, as trying to draw boundaries triggers more of the behaviour.

So my situation is a bit different than most comments here. My son, age 48, is living with an alcoholic. He loves his wife dearly, however, she has gone from one addiction to another over the years. Always blames someone for her short comings etc. The problem is not that he won’t leave but that she will not leave. They have two young children age 5 and 2. He is capable of looking after them and being a single parent, or a shared custody parent if she get into rehab or detox and gets the help she needs. She was into drugs a few years ago and got onto the Meth program. Then started using again by taking his pain medications that he has for an injury. He needs his medications but is not abusive with them. Finding out he was short was how he found she was taking them. Since then they are locked up and she is back on the Meth program again. Trading one addiction for another, she has moved onto alcohol. It continues and he has tried to help her but it is a roller coaster. He has now asked her dad to intervene as it has affected their marriage and the safety of the children. He still loves her and just wants her to get cleaned up. They have a lovely home that they own. She had previously been in difficulty whereas her mother and father instigated the removal of two children at that time into the CAS. They raised one where the other was adopted out. Now the older boy raised by family has a college education and is doing well. The younger adopted out one is now following in her mothers footsteps, too close for comfort. The youngest baby at home now had withdrawal from drugs 2 days after delivery and had to go to emergency at the hospital. Obviously because of her using these medications during pregnancy. It has just been brought to our attention recently about that incident. She was always close to me as a child as she was a neighbourhood friend that spend many years with our family environment. Over the years she drifted and then came back into our sons life 6 years ago. there is a 10 year difference in their age and one thing led to another and that is how they connected after many years.. I cannot take the children and raise them as I am too old. I can help where i can here and there, but am at a loss for my son who has to deal with this daily.. Thank you for allowing me to vent.
