Thank you for sharing your story. I'm just getting started on what will probably be a similar path, though my daughter is grown, so your situation is much more complicated than mine.

As you have learned, and I am learning, alcohol can apparently change a person dramatically.

My wife has been drinking heavily for a couple of years now. She has fallen several times, and three weeks ago she finally fell and broke her ankle. When we got home from the emergency room, her biggest concern was that we not throw away her Vodka. Even while she's wheelchair bound because of it, she refuses to consider not drinking.

Apparently, some alcoholics are determined to drink no matter what it does to them or their families. It's very tragic, and very maddening for us.

I hope you can manage to take care of yourself and your children. You'll get lots of good advice and support here.
