I had posted awhile back about how my dad back in New England has a vicious girlfriend who drinks even more than he does (which is pathetic!) The straw that broke the camel's back was when she started making accusations that I wasn't even his daughter, and he stayed with her, even though he knew about the accusations! She even stooped to harassing my grandparents, and he did NOTHING about it. I confronted him about it 8 weeks ago, and he's still seeing her, with no promise of complete abstinence of alcohol. (he only talks about "cutting down"). For my own sanity, it looks like he's going to have to be out of my life until he addresses these issues.

It sounds like you're hurt (I understand completely!).
At the same time, it sounds like you're strong enough in your own recovery to recognize that his patterns are not only unhealthy, but have no reflection on you or your worth as a person. Great for you!
