Hi Klg
My sons father was killed..prior to that I was in an alcoholic plummet.. when he died I crashed.. during that my then teenage son walked out while I was drinking and said ‘Dad would be do proud of who u are now’ .. that sent me ballistic…
Ive noticed this site has a grief forum.. Id check that .. grief counselling helped both my son and I… but basically alcohol.. didnt help my own grief..It blocked it if anything…it caused me not to feel at a time I really needed to…
Being a single mum is doable…being a sober single mum.. is doable and awesome..its one of my biggest fears.. that ill stuff it up.. but with a drink in my hand and mind.. for me Ive stuffed it anyway…
