Answer 1

My son has a drug and alcohol problem and has blamed every single thing in his life that went wrong on me. I said to him that even if it were true he is an adult now and can change that if he wants but at the age of 39 he still likes to play the blame game.  It's very common for people with addictions to blame others. It seems to justify why they have chosen the path they decided to walk.  No it's not right to blame others for our mistakes, we should all take responsibility for our actions.

In my own opinion, your son is just scapegoating. This is his doing and not to blame others for doing it. You are right that he is a grown-up man. I assumed that he says these things under the spell of illegal drugs or drunk with booze. It is a lame alibi to cover up the real truth behind for being one.

He doesn't do drugs now but drinks too much and is usually drunk when I see him. I can't see him ever changing now.

Oh, I see. Well, I think alcohol can influence his behaviors. If he sobers for not being an alcoholic, I am sure he will turn to a new leaf. A strong will can make him changed. I think he is not ready for this idea.

Answer 2

The act of blaming, more often than not, is counterproductive to conflict resolution. Assigning blame allows the blamer to avoid taking any responsibility for their own actions and say the conflict is entirely the responsibility of the other person. ... Blame does not change the argument or the facts of the situation

If people do this, they are scapegoating the real insecurities in their lives. I always think that these people are scared of knowing their failures in life. Just to save their faces, they normally blame others. It is not a good practice because they can hurt others.

Answer 3

No, it is not right to blame other. First analyze the situation everything even the time, date and place that it happened.  Look for an evidence or proof.  Think many times before you place a word so that it will not hurt anyone. 

Apologize if you hurt somebody. Forgive and Forget and move on.
