My firstborn son had to take my youngest son to the hospital last night. They gave him valium to calm his shaking down.Hes been drinking so much bingeing that hes like an old man alcoholic.Self medicating himself. The saddest part I cant understand is that he was the happiest baby in the universe. He lives his life like hes in the greatest emotional pain. But what is it???? I am absolutely at a loss for understanding. Until recently he would say Im not sad yeah Im the happiest Ive ever been in my life . How about you are you happy? he asked. But last night he admitted to the docs that he knew he was depressed. I used to always urge my kids to tell me anything. It turns out they told me nothing. My daughter seems to think her young brother has a baby.... well if he has he can tell me..... Ill embrace a baby in this family. Last year he said to me that hed done something so evil that theres no way he could tell me about it. but when I asked him at a time he was more lucid....he laughed and said what??? I think your making that up!!' anyway this is just a few thoughts before I go and tell him hes a beautiful boy itll take 14 hours on a train till I can do that. I dont mind. Hes worth it. + I can offer support to my firstborn.Hes the huggiest person in the universe. luv u bib.

Younger and younger, young adults are becoming alcoholic. I have a friend who just got 10 years of sobriety. He's 25. He did his worst drinking before he was 15. Unfortunatly, alcoholics aren't just old men.

I wish I knew what to say to help you understand why you didn't know about all this. Kids say they'll tell their parents anything, but when it comes to an addiction....we'll do anything to hide it and keep it "safe". You're not to blame here...

I hope your son is doing ok, and I hope he realizes that he has a problem and wants to get some help for it.

Hang in there, and keep posting.

Sometimes I find it the hardest to tell my parents about what is going on with me. I am 36, but still struggle to let them know about my depression and such. They don’t even know about 2 of the times I was in drug detox/rehab. My boyfriend told them when I was on the pscyh ward, but we never did talk about it. The good thing is that your son is getting some help. Post and let us know how it goes. Be safe.

!!thanks for telling me that I appreciate it/ Well he jumped the fence of ward b and police took him back and now hes in a higher security ward which is a nightmare for him.He feels hes trapped in a cage. But since then I heard from big brother and P doctor that he's like Kpax hes got 27 July marked as the date he gets on a space ship!!! but Ive learned that he got into.... thiaoouba teachings.... maybe that was where he learned how to live on another planet... I cant even look into it that much because its against my religious beliefs... or hes just schyzophrenic... very sad though I said to him hes got it in him to get thru this but Im not sure he understood. hes still just a little koori fella in a world of walkabouts!!!! <font color="blue"> </font>
