SS has recently turned 18, he lives with me and DH full time as his mum passed away 10 years ago. He had counselling and seemed to have been doing ok, he would get upset occasionally but that was to be expected and me and DH tried to support him, he also sees his mums side of the family (not often as they do live far away) and we do talk about his mum.
He started drinking alcohol at 17, as all of his friends had already turned 18, he wouldn't drink much or very often. However, recently he’s been drinking 4 cans of carling every other day, he then goes out on a weekend and drinks with friends. When he isn't drinking, he's in his room playing on the Xbox, if DH goes to speak to him he tells him to go away.
Today, he's phoned in work sick even though he's fine and so far he's just been playing on the Xbox.
Aibu to be worried about him?
