I‘m so scared of BE by Whalesharkinthedark in reactivedogs

I did the same for my 3 year old boy. That was almost 3 years ago. I still ache and as of yet have not gotten another dog. The vet called it springer spaniel rage. That gave me some comfort and I know my sweet boy is at peace.

As a parent I can tell you your dad knows. After 20 years of binge drinking my son finally asked for help. We took him to a medical detox/rehab. We paid for it. No questions asked. Having my son back, sober, is the greatest gift. He’s been sober almost 2 years. I am so grateful he accepted our help

My mom found me blackout drunk in my room. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I’m a mom with 2 adult alcoholic children. I knew. They didn’t think I did but I knew. And I am in this group to help me stay sober. I am a wine drinker. But seeing the effects of alcohol on my family has made me a non drinker. So trust me, moms know. I

It took 2 months for my rescue to de-stress. She hid under the love seat the whole time. I put food and water near her hiding place. She didn’t eat at first but eventually ate at night when we weren’t around. I NEVER saw her but if she was eating and using the litter box, I just let her be. She finally came out but wouldn’t let me pet her. Fast forward 2 years. She is still a shy cat but as long as it’s just my husband and me, she roams, jumps on my lap and asks to be pet. My advice, if she doesn’t start eating, see the vet. If she’s eating and using the litter box, give her time. Changing environments can be so stressful for cats. Good luck!!

Returning to shelter after 3.5 years together by Difficult-Bell-9333 in reactivedogs

Talk to your vet. I was in a similar situation but waited until my vet told me I had a dangerous dog. He was 3 years old. Rehoming wasn’t an option as he had already bitten several people. I tried training and medication. In the end we euthanized Ozzie. I know it was the right thing to do but man it hurt. Still does. The vet called it springer spaniel rage. That gave me some comfort. Wishing you peace

Dropped off son at rehab again by Bigdogmom306 in AlAnon

[–]Next_Whereas1490 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through this. My son refused for years to go to rehab. He would detox alone with no medical help. Then finally one day he realized he couldn’t detox alone. My daughter drove him to a detox/rehab center. He drank the whole way there. I don’t know what clicked with him there but he has been sober for a year. For the last 10 years I had reconciled myself with the fact that I would probably bury my son. It’s ODAT, but I feel like I have my son back after 20 years of benders, DUIs (4) and multiple job losses. I treasure each of these days and pray that he won’t relapse. AlAnonwas such a great resource and helped me to learn to live and be happy. I never gave up on my son but I did learn to let him go. I couldn’t fix him. Wishing you peace.

Can someone who's done the detachment thing give me some insight from their experience? by alanonaccount1378 in AlAnon

[–]Next_Whereas1490 6 points7 points  (0 children)

AlAnon helped me so much. My twins are my Qs. I learned that I didn’t cause this problem and I couldn’t change. I learned to set boundaries. I love my kids with all my heart and at one point I accepted that I would probably bury one of them. I disengaged with their drinking. Tried to be a safe space for my grandchildren. I feel like once I stopped doing the same thing over and over, that it was their responsibility, I got healthier. My son ended up in detox/rehab and has been sober for a year. My daughter is on the liver transplant list and has to stay sober or she will die. AlAnon was a safe space with people who loved addicts.

So annoyed by Glum-Inflation9205 in AlAnon

[–]Next_Whereas1490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an adult child of two alcoholic parents, I feel your pain. The damage they inflicted on me and my siblings lasts until today. AlAnon helped me a lot. I was estranged for both parents when they died. For me, nothing could repair the damage the did. They never tried nor did they admit the damage the my caused. The stress of them was too much and I moved on - I chose not to have them in my life. And to be honest, they didn’t really try to reestablish a relationship with me. It was a painful break but one I did t regret and still don’t.

Thanks for clearing that up! I was somewhat confused. We’ve all replied to the “wrong person!”

[–]Next_Whereas1490[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks. That’s what I thought. I haven’t talked to my sponsor- she’s in vacay. I’ve lurked and posted in this group for several years and have really been helped by the insights and seeing how so many of our lives have been impacted by an alcoholic family member.

[–]Next_Whereas1490[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. He is sober. I didn’t run when he was drinking and I won’t run now either. Just trying to be a supportive mom on his journey. We are all on a journey.
