Dh had been spiraling into heavier and heavier drug and alcohol abuse but recently due to a serious health scare he's been forced to tackle it. before his time in hospital his own family had pretty much given up on him, breaking contact with us (me, Dh and ds3). His own mother said she couldn't bear to see what he was doing to himself and didn't come to visit him in hospital. (non of his family did) As a mother I just can't imagine getting to a point where I break ties with my son. I'd always keep supporting him and being there for him. Aibu to judge them?

Best wishes to you OP, I really hope you get the help you need.

Focus on keeping yourself healthy and well for your DS - and remember the only person who can really help your DH is himself. It's harsh, but he's not your responsibility.

Well done for you and dh for recognizing there is a problem. I hope things improve but don't put your head in the sand if things get worse! Women's Aid are good for support and non judgemental advice if you need them.
