need advice on end stage alcoholic father
Hi there its been about two months since my last post. At that time my father had lost his mind and ended up in the ccu for a week. Now here we are for the third time in five months back in the hospital. This time I found out about it by reading the headline in the local paper. Apparently he broke into a biz in the early moring hours.someone heard him moaning and groaning so hey called 911. Idk if charges will be pressed. Neways his whole life is drinking. I went to his house and found 6 bottles of vodka(fifths or gallons) he is losing hiw home. He doesn't pay any bills. Doesnt even know what day it is. I know that if I help him move and get into an apartment it'll be the same story. He won't pay his bills and hell lose that too. Is it time I walk away? I. Feel that he isn't living his life, just somewhat going thru the motion....completely drunk. He wants some one else to live for him....I can not do it. I'm an only child and the rest of the family has also walked away from him. He absolutely will not accept treatment. He's only 59.
Thx to anyone who takes the time to read this.
