Hello, I don’t really have much advice as my dad is also a alcoholic and has been all my life and just put my own post up, hoping for someone to answer my questions but I just wanted you to know your not alone. I don’t think you can help someone if they don’t want to be helped.. I know my dad has always refused it, he won’t see the doctors or anything and I am quite worried about his health now but there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do. It’s a really hard situation and I’m sorry your going through it too.
Hiya its not my partner that drinks so I don’t really know it from that side of things but my dad has been an alcoholic all my life and to be honest he always denied being an alcoholic. There is def functioning alcoholics until they are not functioning anymore if that makes sense. My dad used to work ect but he certainly doesn’t now or for a long time. I used to beg my dad to stop drinking and he would flat out refuse, obv now I’m older I don’t bother anymore as it has gone past that point. I’m sorry you are in this situation but I think if he doesn’t see a problem then it’s extremely hard for you to get him to see it. I can’t tell you what to do but I hope he can see what he’s doing to himself, you and your daughter before it’s too late. It’s awful to watch someone go down that path.
