It sounds like you have a loving family - a strong family! What a precious gift in this time... Sounds like my family - part whom I miss dearly. I lost my dad about 10 years ago (he was only 51 yrs - we were business partners and my mum and dad had been married for over 35 years) - and then a year after my dad died my 23 year old beautiful brother (Martin) was killed in a car crash...
My dad was an alcoholic. yes, it brought huge upsets and traumas (though never ever abuse) - but I thank God that mum never 'threw Dad out'.... we had our own boundaries (that might not have been acceptable to some hardcore SR members) but were to us - and I am so grateful I grew up in a home with my Dad and mum (though not always a picnic)...
God bless you MrsDragon and your family
