Your son sounds like he has good intentions, but cannot apply them to the situation. another thing is the drinking sounds bad, it's so easy to get reinvolved with the bar scene, once he has enough for partying, i think maybe your anxiety could be from that too since he does have a past with abusing alcholol. maybe also letting him try another time to get him on his own just scares you because of the past too. I am going through empty nest syndrome am afraid of my son's handeling as to the use of alcohol, as he has brought liquor home, but it scares me too especially if he was going to be driving under the influence.He has moved out dec1 and i don't see him hardly ever but the fer is always there, I feel for you and hope it doesn't happen to me and my son. I'll pray for both of us -avlady
