Hi Lauren,
I too have a father like yours although I have chosen not to have him in my life. In his place I have my husband who is a (struggling) recovering alcoholic. The only difference between them is that my Dad is 75 & Denies having a problem, my husband at least recognises his problem. I can empathise with your feelings of loyalty and the burden that you might feel of being the only one left in his life. It’s so difficult but with support from others life should get better for both of us now that we are seeking help! I wish you all the best, JC
