Reply to comment by Ericaonelove in As alcohol-related liver disease rises in the U.S., a clinic takes a new approach to treatment by grungegoth

Sorry to hear that. My son tried to commit suicide by taking 45 paracetamol and the doctor said that without the antidote it would have been the same outcome for him.

I’m so sorry. My brother did it intentionally, got scared and went to the emergency room, and they didn’t do anything. By the time he went to a different hospital, it was way too late. All his organs just shut down one by one. What a terrible way to go.

I really hope your son is doing ok, and in a better place now.

I’m so sorry, that must have been unspeakably hard as a parent, and obviously your son must have been in such a painful spot to take that action. I hope you’re both doing well now.

It was a tough time but we got through it. The guilt I bear for not doing anything about it when I first heard him vomiting, well, I don’t think about it much anymore.

He’s now the proud parent of two boys and will be moving into his new house later in the year.
