Hi. I'm new with questions.
My father has been sober for 10 years. Lately, my brother and I have noticed some slurred speech and odd phone calls, especially when my mother is gone for a late night with her girlfriends or away for the weekend. I hadn't actually seen it until a few days ago. I brushed it off but it's been three times this week now and I'm getting nervous. He isn't wildly drunk but I'm still very very nervous about it. If my mother found out she would divorce him.
In less than two weeks I'm moving overseas for a year. I'm afraid to approach my father before I leave. We don't have a very open, talkitive relationship, although it is very loving in a strong, silent way. I thought it might go away but its just getting more frequent. I wish it would just go away.
Any advice on how to approach this? On how to approach him, someone I'm not comfortable having serious life talks with?
Thank you.
