Thank you. I’ve been re-reading each comment in the past days. I recognize the message is clear and universal. I talked to my father, I am going to make a decision in the next week or so. This is to give guests a month’s notice.

I’ve attended two Al-Anon meetings so far. Read several books. We are in counseling twice a week.

Between now and decision day, I’m going to find out about 1) his willingness to stop drinking; 2) try my best to assess likelihood of success; and 3) decide for myself “is this the life I want.”
