Hi All

[dizzy]

Hey everyone,

I am a long time member of the braintalk forums, however, I used to frequent the addiction forum. I have came back, looking for help for my kids who are now in need of the help I needed years ago!

Some of you, if any old members are still around, may remember me as SCT. My husband was an active addict.. we are currently divorced and I have custody of all 3 of our children. He rarely sees them. If he isn't on a drug of some sort, he is drinking; he's always wasted!

2 of my kids are now suffering a great deal due to broken promises, arguments, and the addiction itself! Is anyone frequenting this forum daily? I would like for my kids to start visiting and I'm going to encourage them to join.

Dizzy, I don't recall you from old BT but glad you've come back! You might want to post on the emotional support forum,it's very active & some of us on there use this forum also.....mainly when an issue comes up w/family.

Do you remember Javisi?? She's not too active these days but I know she'd reply if she could. Might send her a PM & get her attention that way. Just a thought.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice Buttons! I think I just posted another reply to you :D in another forum!

I will check out the emotional forum. I don't remember Javisi; it has been quite a long time since I was really active!

Hey Dizzy ~ I remember you WELL!!! Welcome back!!! Gosh, you and I go way back! Remember me? I'm Lee. Gosh I'm sorry about your divorce and the trouble your kids are having, but I can totally understand.

I was the drunk (well, my ex was too). I got sober but my ex never did. He died a couple of years ago unfortunately. It was really hard on my kids. They're both grown now, but it was still devastating for them. My son is an alcoholic now. I've done all I can with him, so I've turned him over to God. There's nothing else I can do. I've gone to Al-Anon meetings (as well as AA of course) trying to learn how to deal with an alcoholic son. I learned alot. If your kids are old enough, they would benefit from Al-A-tot or Al-A-teen. There are groups all over the country. Believe me, it will help them immensely, and help them get rid of the anger and resentment. They CAN'T keep carrying that around ~ it's like a cancer. It will affect their schoolwork and everything else. Please look into it? I really care.

It's good to see you back sweetie. I so wish things were better for you. Take care and hope to see you again. Hugs, Lee
