Thanks you guys. I feel guilty as my family drinks and so does his however his parents are fine with this new rule. I let me Dad know that and he says to me, "well yes they are fine with the rule as they live here and can go home". My Dad literally has anxiety about not being able to drink.
My parents are out of town guests....so they stay in our house. It is usually a stressful time as we have two small kids and my parents don't get along with my husband....he's been tough on the drink. Now we are making progress.
I think my Dad literally medicates himself while here. His face turns red and it isn't good for him as he is on high blood pressure meds. When I was a kid he drank most nights and usually 4 or more. I am not going to let my kids grow up this way.
hugs.
