I remember when I complained to my therapist that my AH wouldn't correct a disrespectful son. Her response was, "so, you're expecting the king of disrespect in your home to step in and discipline a disrespectful teen?". Touche!

At some point in our minds we have to quit expecting our alcoholics to care, behave, act, make decisions like someone who isn't an addict.

I have been learning though haven't mastered this concept. If I don't expect the normal from my A then I won't be disappointed.
