Hi,

I’ve been through a similar situation with my Dad. It started out as a few beers here and there, and then it turned into a bottle of vodka a day. He’s the loveliest man when he’s not drunk, however he’s a monster when he’s full of drink. Be strong for your kids – at least they have one responsible parent and I bet you’re doing an incredible job! It seems absolutely horrendous now, but with time, things will start looking up!

All the best, stay stong!

Hi JC,

Thanks for your response. It’s not been easy, but I’ve cut ties with him so he’s no longer in my life. His problem has spiralled so far out of control, and I’ve now come to terms with the fact that I can’t help him anymore than what I have already. If he wanted to get better, he would have done it with all of the support and chances that he’s already been given off so many people. I’m finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel and it feels like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I still miss him every single day, and I wonder if he’s okay all the time – however, he’s a grown man and he’s perfectly capable of looking after himself. Hopefully, this time, he will realise that he’s lost everything and maybe, just maybe it’ll make him want to sort himself out! I hope your situation gets better and I hope your husband finds it in himself to continue on the road to recovery!

Hope things all work out for you.

All the best,
