My dad is dying due to his drinking. And instead of dysfunction taking a back seat it has increased 300%. I am so happy to have found this site. It is too late for me to change my relationship with my father, but I can change myself and have a better life!

Wow, my x wife is dying from alcoholism also. Thanks for the heads up on the dysfunction. I'm like you, I'd think it'd subside a little, but I guess they can't help themselves. Just the opposite, man.

Damn, that's some valuable information to have. Really, thanks.

Thanks and God bless us all,
