I feel your pain. My father is in the same boat. His drinking has been an issue now for the past 5 1/2 years and about 2 years ago he fell, while drunk, and severely messed up his back. Now he takes pain pill daily to overcome his state and drinks on occasion as well. He has become an utter jerk to his entire family - my mother especially. I hate it.
My husband and I recently had a baby and I informed my father that she will not be over his house if he continues to be the way he is (completely disrespectful of his family).
I feel for my mother more than anything - she is the one that has to deal with it on a daily basis. Thanks for letting me vent - I will keep you in my thoughts!
