Anyone who was around my dear ol dad knew that this pre-existing condition was affecting the quality of his life. What I did was get dear ol dad some help because in his day unless you are next to dead you don't complain to the doctor. He thanked me himself because I told him what I did LOL.
Thanks for your input though.....
As far as telling the doctor about an addict, while it may seem like things could then happen in that household, are they not things that NEED to happen? Believe me, I understand. I was married to an addict for years and struggled with just this same topic.
I am certainly not telling anyone what to do or giving any advise. What I offered is what I did for my dad, nothing more, nothing less.
