Is this a good idea?
Is this a good, bad, or pointless idea?
I was thinking about writing a letter to my husband about his drinking. He doesn't listen when I speak so I was thinking that maybe he would comprehend what I'm saying if he reads it. His brother is a much worse alcoholic. I've never seen him sober for then a couple hours in the morning. He no longer has a job and is spiraling downhill. My husband will talk about his brother and is worried about him and doesn't understand why his brother can't see what is going on. The catch is that my husband is very similar. Just not as bad.
Anyway, I've been reading the signs of alcoholism and the stages and I was thinking that I could show him on paper that he has many of the signs. I would also explain that he is acting more and more like his brother. And give him examples. I can write calmly about how it makes me feel and show him that he is putting drinking in front of his family.
Do you think it would help?
