[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 397072, member: 59"] Every year our family and my sister's family goes to my dad's for Christmas Eve to exchange gifts and eat. This year I asked dad not to serve any alcohol. We never drink anything on that night anyway and either does my sister but dad usually drinks wine and offers it to everyone. I knew if that happened that difficult child would be tempted to drink and probably sneak it. Anyway it caused a problem and rift between my sister and I because dad wanted to have it for my niece's fiance and nephew's girlfriend. So we get to dad's and he's drinking wine but immediately put it into the kitchen sink. Ok that was no big deal. I open the fridge and there are beer cans and a wine bottle right in front. During the course of the night several beers and glasses of wine were drank. They tried to be considerate by drinking int he kitchen and not bringing it into the living room but this is a small apartment and difficult child was certainly aware of it. There was enough tension already in the evening but I was surprised and hurt that my sister would disregard my feelings in this manner. Anyone who has an alcoholic in the family knows that triggers are very strong and this time of year especially. My goodness we were only there for three hours, couldn't they hold off? Nancy [/QUOTE]
