That is so powerfully true. Both statements.
My AXH absolutely acknowledges being an alcoholic. HOWEVER... he does not accept any responsibility for any of the many consequences he has had to face because of that alcoholism... to his way of thinking it's all somebody else's fault AND he vehemently denies that he has hurt anyone other than himself. Insanity.
I am sorry to hear of your losing another family member to addiction BriarSkye. Sucks.
