Thank you all.
My kids have been to alateen before. We've been talking about going again. I agree that I think it would be a good thing for them.
I have a police friend who just so happens works in the domestic violence unit now. He's working tonight so I'm going to call him.
I'm very overwhelmed. I have many emotions going right now.
I think I may be in a bit of denial myself. About how bad it is. Of course, we didn't want our life to turn out like this. Only now can I change the way me and my children live.

Alcoholic: No, of course not! How can you even think such a thing! You know I'm seeing a therapist about my eating/sleeping/other issue!
Clueless Family: Oh, well...okay. Let me help you clean that up!
This, sadly, is a true story. Even while she was crawling on the floor there were still questions about why. Maybe a mix up with her meds? Weak from not eating enough?
No, she was so drunk she couldn't walk.
We don't expect people to lie to our faces in the presence of proof. And we're hesitant to disbelieve or interfere with adults.
