Im sorry to be posting this on here, its personal and I did a few months ago. My dad has been an alcoholic for over 20 years...he was clean for about 5 and then started recently drinking again. My mom is a saint and I dont know how she deals with it. She just called me upset a little while ago...so yesterday she went out to lunch with some of her friends from work to catch up on things ( she works in a school so shes off the summer ). When she got home of course my dad started with her and blah blah.. So today he comes home from work ( at 12 noon ) def. had a few drinks. She was on the phone w/ her friend from yesterday and he proceeds to call her names and say shes a lesbian and stuff like that. ( nice right? ) Im at the point where if he doesnt go and get help I dont want him at my wedding, but of course..hes not the one with the problem! Sorry I need to get it out. My mom is the best mom ever and she doesnt deserve it. I dont know how she can deal anymore

he has been upstate to rehab twice and it worked but not for long. Weve tried so much , just about everything . He just doesnt care. I just dont know how my mom can be so strong. I would never be able to do it.
thank you all so much
Same thing with FMIL... she went up twice... she almost missed FH's college graduation... but luckily it ended like the day before

Hang in there. I know it's hard to deal with a family member who has a substance abuse problem. If you need to talk, you can FM as I can offer some advice. Unfortuntely, any addict needs to hit rock bottom before they pick themselves up again. No intervention or talking about the problem to them will help.

I'm so sorry for you. My brother is an alcoholic and I'm afraid he will ruin our wedding. He refuses to get help.
