Sesh I have to say I doubt he's in denial. Becasue of my own past experience with addiction and living with alcoholics in various stages, I think he knows exactly what's going on and has accepted his own fate. When you're appealing to him and he stares at you with blank looks he's thinking.. "she just doesn't get it". He has to know his current physical state is not good. This is the nature of addiction. He has given up and you and your kids are the real victims now. I didn't have the courage to watch Mel drink herself to death and not a jury in the world would convict you for sparing your kids that front row seat if you choose that path. You are in my thoughts.
