[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 760846, member: 15032"] Hi Reading along and can't help but think that his problems are from his alcohol abuse and nothing else. He's putting the cart before the horse by abusing alcohol. If he is impotent that certainly can be caused by alcohol. My coworkers neighbor had a son that was an alcoholic. She let him live with her and he slept on her couch. She would not give him a bedroom because she wanted it to be temporary. He would lay there on the couch and drink in excess and throw up and lay in it and this went on for years. She bought a new couch. What I'm saying is, by her trying to save him she enabled him to continue drinking and not facing his demons and turning his life around. We cannot save our adult children from themselves. During my son's "rampage" I thought he could be mentally ill. I still think he has a touch of Asperger's but I don't know for sure. Please see a therapist for yourself that deals with addition/alcoholism. You need to create firm but loving boundaries or this can go on forever. It certainly helped me tremendously. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
