^ sounds just like my exs. My ex turned his dad into a saint-literally. Started praying to him, etc. It was awful to see the level of denial - it was heartbreaking and scary at the same time. Bonds of silence and dysfunction in that family. Family get togethers should have been wearing name cards: hello, my name is: alcoholic, abuser, molester....but look at us-we are one big happy family and don't you dare say otherwise or dare talk about anything truthful-we prefer to live in denial land! Yay!! (Can you tell I'm happy to be out?! God blessed!)
