[QUOTE="katya02, post: 766615, member: 2884"] It was suggested to me that I post this as a new thread, since my last thread regarding my son went quiet several months ago. I have copied and pasted my updated post here. Three people have replied, and I'm not sure whether I can copy and paste their replies - I will if I can. My 34 yo son with severe AUD has just gone through prolonged DTs in hospital after a seizure at home and a fracture-dislocation of his right shoulder. He has woken up in the past day and is paranoid, hostile, and still hallucinating. He talks civilly to his dad but not to me. His husband has been very involved and upset and is looking for long term residential treatment places to try to reset because since last September my son’s drinking has been one long binge and blackout, hasn’t been able to leave the house or walk anywhere, hardly eating. We hoped he would take his situation seriously on waking up. We were in the city where he lives, 4 hours drive away, for days last week and weekend; had to come home to take my second son for a psychiatric appointment. My alcoholic son was offended when he heard that we had left, even though we are going back to his city tomorrow. We are traveling there tomorrow because he will almost certainly be discharged then. My husband wants to bring him home with us for a week while his shoulder further heals and his husband makes arrangements for residential rehab. I don’t think he will agree to either plan. I am in despair after hearing his attitude to me yesterday, his first words spoken to me after more than a week of life-threatening illness. He is hostile, paranoid, critical of everyone. His husband says he is still constantly hallucinating.My husband has surgery scheduled for next Monday and I have to care for HIM afterward, he is my priority, and I don’t think I can care for them both.
