Hi ksos,
Thanks for all this info, I do know that in Canada the last option mentionned is available. What we have done in the last few days is inform the immediate family (one of his brothers) of the escalating problems. My husband being an only child, all the events of the last months (even years) have been shared together (me and him) because no one else in the family wanted anything to do with him (father-in-law) after years of trying to help and not succeeding. My F-I-L has gone to live at his brothers camp, out in the woods with no running water, no car and the place is still snowed in. At least the brother now knows what is going on and will try to help as best he can.
Is it normal that I'm fed up?
Yesterday my husband, who drinks about once every 3 months (he a diabetic and seeing that his Dad has been thirsty for the last 30 years...), went on a super bender...he ended up hitting the hotel room wall and hurting his hand. At that time we were with friends, playing our annual 20$ at the casino and having fun, but things started degenarating and went from bad to worse. The evening was a disaster, but I can't help felling it's a symptom of the unbelievable pressure he has been under.
Will this ever stop?
We're looking for other ressources but as long as a person is not a danger to himself or to others, here in Québec he will not be considered for "forced" treatment...do we have to wait for that knock on the door at 3 a.m. or to find him somewhere....
Oh well, that's the way it is, tomorrow is another day!
Thanks for your support and understanding. Feels good to know I can reach out and be understood.
