My kids have been through a lot. I have bipolar, and my husband is a recently recovered alcoholic. My parents, and sister, who live nearby are totally absent, and emotionally and physically abusive to me.My kids have had noone really besides there messed up folks. Dont get me wrong, I love em to bits, but my old man is emotionally like a brick wall. My son has developed a nervous habit, clearing his throat.It developed while his father was in rehab for 30 days, and never called. He did email me often, but the lack of a call was upsetting.I think my son was shaken by us being just three, with no outside visits or support, for so long.. Now, from the time he gets up, to the time he goes to bed, he is clearing his throat. I have tried therapy, lozenges, and talking with him. often it keeps him up until 1am. I am so worried he will never overcome it. Any advice???!!!

I have a very delicate family situation that I need help with. I have a 10 year old nephew that has a drug addict for a Mother (47) and a Father(39) who will do nothing to get her help. She has been on drugs since she was 18. She has been arrested once, and he got her out of it. She has shown up at the child’s school so blasted out of her mind that the school nurse had to drive her home. She has had several escapes with the police, including two serious auto accidents caused by her drug-induced stupor. Yet he always gets her out of it. Also her twisted, drug enhanced views and paranoia are beginning to pervert the boy’s personality. He is very withdrawn and superstitious due to the crap she fills his head with. I am tempted to call CPS to do an investigation. I wonder if authorities will allow my nephew to stay with his Father or if they will allow me to take custody until she gets the help that she needs.
What are your views and suggestions?
I hardly ever drink alcohol but my son (an adult) says that it would help to boost my poor circulation. Is this true? Also would that mean whisky, rum, that sort of thing, or does it apply to all alcohol?
Any other tips of boosting circulation received gratefully too!
Thanks upfront.
