You cannot change him or his behavior--but you can seek help for you and your/his daughter. Alanon can help you. Alateen and/or Alanon can help her. And as far as dropping him off/picking him up....I assume you are referring to a bar or someplace where he drinks. That needs to stop. He can find his own way there and back--by you or someone else picking him up you are enabling his behavior by being a part of it. He can call a cab to take him to/from the bar. He can pay his own way if drinking means that much to him.

You are not responsible for him--only for yourself and your well-being. He will continue to take advantage of you and your daughter if you allow him to. Does he want to stop drinking? If not, little can be done for him--but there is alot of support out there for you and your daughter. No one deserves to be taken hostage by an alcoholic who abuses them verbally, emotionally etc. You are not alone. Keep reaching out for help. I'm glad you are here.
