I am glad he is going to rehab. He has to see that he would have a long life of hell if he went down the same path as his F. My F was an alcoholic, so I see what it can do to the next generation. I have a sister who I believe is an alcoholic, though she has denied it. My F was never able to have normal relationships with his family. It's like the alcohol damaged that part of him. I loved him dearly, and I know he loved me, but I could always see that something was missing in him. He quit drinking, but that part of him never recovered. So, I am glad your S is getting help from rehab at a relatively young age, before it does permanent damage to him. God bless you and your family vc
