Hi Anon2000. I am sorry you are going through this. Please know you are not alone. My brother is a severe alcoholic and we have tried to help him for well over a decade now. Its making myself and my family ill. I am suffering with really bad anxiety and i try and pretend it doesn’t bother me that much to my parents so i don’t stress them more but really it is killing me.
Have you heard of the 12 step process? My brother did this in rehab but unfortunately, due to his mental state, he relapsed and that is actually why i have joined this forum.
I really hope he gets sorted, truly. I know the pain is unbearable and when you speak of feeling so sorry for your family, I know exactly where you’re coming from. I hope this forum makes you feel even just slightly better
