My alcoholic son can’t stop his addiction and I fear I will find him dead

DEAR DEIDRE: I AM worried sick about my son. He is an alcoholic, but he is abusive with it.

I can’t have him living with me because he can be violent and vile.

I have tried everything to help him. Family and friends have completely cut him off and I can’t help but wonder if I should do the same.

The thought of shutting him out terrifies me but also appeals.

Having him in my life is so hard – he threatens me and pushes me around when he’s drunk.
