Separate Thread for Noidea123 Thought it would help Noidea to start a separate thread: Here is the original post on another thread: Any advice in regard to my father whom is rapidly killing himself with alcohol?...He lives on my property (in tiny trailer) and is violent, volatile, and has guns. All he does all day long is wander the property drunk every single day. I want him to get help sure but I really NEED him to leave from here and he won't. He is currently on probation for drunk driving so I could call his PO but gee, I would call that a last resort move but... any ideas? "I am between a rock and HELL" thanks |
First WELCOME to SR. You have found a great place with lots of experience, strength and hope (ES&H) from folks who have been where you or are where you are. My answer is I think you have your answer. He has guns. Not that I am against guns as I have guns, know how to use them etc but I am not drinking and haven't for many years now. He is in violation of his parole/probation. He is drinking, also a violation. If I were you, and he was living on my property and a 'danger' to myself and my family I would certainly call his P O. To me this is a terrible accident waiting to happen. J M H O Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing as we do care very much. Love and hugs, |
Welcome to the SR family! you will find support and information here. We understand what it is like living with a loved ones alcoholism. Alcoholism is progressive. It gets worse. I agree with Laurie that you need to protect yourself and your property ( and any other family members or visitors). What he is doing is against his probation, and he is doing it on your property. Let the authorities deal with the issue. He is an adult and can face the consequences of his behavior. Unfortunately, you wont be able to reason with an addicted personality. As long as he is drinking, he will do anything to protect his addiction. Alcohol is his priority and he will defend it. Please make yourself at home by reading and posting as much as you need. We are here to support you. |
another vote for call the PO |
(((Noidea))) - welcome to SR!! I have to agree..call the PO. FWIW, I'm an RA (recovering addict) as well as a recovering codie (loved ones who are/were addicts/alcoholics). I didn't hit my bottom, in my addiction, until I had enough consequences build up, and they included some jail time. You have the right to feel safe on your own property, and it will do NO GOOD to try to talk to him. When we're active in our addiction, the only voice we hear is "more, more, more". This is a great place for people who "get" what you're going through. Hugs and prayers, Amy |
