[QUOTE="tryingtobestrong, post: 755975, member: 22817"] Welcome and you are a great mom! Our story sounds similar but my daughter is the younger child now 23. My son is 25, lives in another state and struggles with alcoholism. Has a full time job but has not been sober longer than 88 days since August of 2018. Prior to that he had a DUI and was on probation so he had to be sober for a year- but ate that much that he gained a large amount of weight. Like 100lbs. When we went to visit him - not knowing at that time what he looked like and also that he had relapsed as soon as he was done his probation just 4 weeks prior- I could not even look at him because he was that obese. Fast forward to now... he is sober for about 45 days now. My daughter is not a fan of her brother. She doesn't reach out to him and resents everything we have done or still try to do for him. My daughter is in grad school and has her own medical issues but always works hard. They were raised the same but had different experiences in middle and high school which I feel played a huge part in what happened to my son. [/QUOTE]
