OT:
Sadness alert.

Just got off the phone with my son who is in Massachusetts with his wife presenting one of her films.

My son is an admitted alcoholic struggling with his addiction and it is sending him into a deep depression. He’s alienated his mom and now he’s afraid he might alienate his wife. Every time he stops drinking he gets the DTs and he thinks he lost his job last week because he was drunk on the job, and he also insulted his landlord so he doesn’t know if he’s about to get an eviction notice.

He’s called me a couple of times when he’s been suicidal and I’ve been able to help him get past it, but I’m afraid I won’t always be able to help him.

The only thing that shows some hope is he’s willing to go into rehab.
