Re: can you believe this!!!

[Guest guest]

May I put your son on our Bible Study prayer list? I was just talking to my

grandson about his younger cousin who really needs an older brother/uncle in

his life since he has cut off all contact with his dad who called him a

loser who would never make anything of himself. At least my grandson knew

he wasn't a loser, refuses to be told so again. His dad went into rehab

shortly after, but he will relapse again. It has made my grandson stronger,

making sure he gets grades good enough to go to college, etc.

I have a bad memory, so could you tell me again, how old he is, etc. Jan H

my cousin was the same way...love the drinking more...he died of drinking and

liver disease....people do this with smoking too...my dad drank himself out...my

step mother killed her self drinking....she rolled the car.....i have a sister

who i love dearly she will probably not put it down either...she said to me that

i am the strong one in that i have will power and determination...i did not know

she admired me. substance abuse causes alot of harm it effects everybody...i am

in the process of getting a certification to teach an " over comers " group at my

church... even though i lived with this abuse i still have a hard time wrapping

my head around it...sandra...ps the hamburger is the least of his problem

Subject: can you believe this!!!

Some of you may remember a little about my sons fathers story. He was in the

hosp...diagnosed with cirrohsis, suffering with HE and the ddr said he was

" minutes from coma' anyway..he walked out of the hospital and I really didnt

know much from there. I spoke to his mother this week and apparently when he

left the hosp he went right back to drinking for three weeks. Then he showed up

on her doorstep, she wouldnt let him in but she did drive him to a detox. He

stayed there for 2 weeks and they got him into a halfway house. He was there for

almost a month then went on a three day bender over memorial day weekend. Back

to detox unit and now back to halfway house. She says he looks good, has gained

weight but is not eating what dr's suggested..she laughed and said'he loves

those hamburgers'. .WHAT...I cant believe this..he obviously does not believe he

is sick..or just doesnt care. He had less than 10% liver function 6 months

ago..he stills calls here to talk

to our son and he has sent some very inappropriate letters..When my son heard

the drunk message on memorial day he was so upset..Every time the phone rings

and its his mom I assume the worst..I feel like I'm walking on eggshells with my

son. I dont want him to have false hopes..but then I dont want him to give up

all hope..ya know?

thanks for listening
