My son is 16 years old & is in the hospital with blood alcohol poisoning. He was found unconsious on the side of a street. I have set up arrangements for a 10 day outpatient program, but I am still afraid of how to deal with this as a mom. I am hoping someone can help me with my fears. Thank-you
Thank You for the great responses. I am greatful for the honesty & advice. The Dr. said that he is very lucky, the CAT scan & MRI showed no brain damage,( that was a fear of his) WE spoke with his friends & they said he drinks all the time, so do they, its not a problem! OMG, These kids are 15-17 years old!!! Anyways, I will look into alanon & maybe revise my schedule to be home more. Also, Thanks for reminding me about not critisizing… He is dealing with the death of a dad, although it has been 4 years ago last week, it still haunts him. I will take the advice and talk To him instead of At him, but stay strong with my parameters.
Again… Thank you!!!

My son has a dead beat dad who is in drug rehab. He got arested in Dec 05 and was having withdrawl problems in jail, so they sent him to a rehab. If he was not in rehab, he would be in jail, he is awaiting trail for 7 felony charges. He has all the sudden decided to take an interest in my son, I don’t want my son to see him but I have an outstanding court order from before he went to jail that states he gets supervised visits everyother weekend. I was not worried about this since he was put away, but I have found out that he gets weekend passes and I have to let him see my son on his weeks. Does anyone else see anything wrong with someone who should be in jail, awaiting trail for 7 felony charges, getting out on the weekend and being around a 2 yr old child? I don’t see how he should get out? I have a lawyer and we are going to court to get his visits suspended but I need help now, he is to get out for his first visit next weekend. Does anyone know anything I can do to stop this?
For any of you who say that he is his father and deserves to see him~ let me tell you one reason I don’t want this~ once, he was on his way to pick up my son for his visits and got pulled over, he ran from the police and when they cought him, he had a loaded, stolen gun, oxicotin, and two baggies of meth. ON HIS WAY TO PICK UP MY SON!
I have two teenagers who I am scared to death of them falling in to the sex, drugs, and alcohol consuming culture. Most of all gangs and the like. I have told the kids about the dangers of all three areas, but am I doing enough? I try to lead by example, but is that still enough? Please advise.
