[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 370504, member: 1233"] I am sorry she could not even follow the rules that she agreed to for 24 hours. She certainly does show a lot of signs of alcoholism, at least from what you have said. I understand wanting her out of your home immediately. Hopefully husband can realize that it is the right thing to do and to realize that she will not ever be able to become sober and staysober if she does not hit bottom first. Would you be willing to let difficult child stay for the weekend IF husband was to go to an alanon meeting a day for the weekend? A few meetings might help him to see that letting her stay is not helping her. If this is not tolerable, do whatever you feel you need to do. Often we give in when a spouse doesn't like what we think needs to happen. Only you can tell if that is what needs to happen now, or if it is time to take a stand and insist that husband give in and do it "your" way. Whatever happens, we are here to support you. If husband won't go to alanon or narcanon, go without him. It also might be helpful to watch some episodes of Intervention. There are a lot of episodes available online at [URL="http://www.aetv.com"]www.aetv.com[/URL]. Be sure that you watch the follow up clips - many of the people who said they hated their loved ones end up thanking them and telling them that they did the right thing. [/QUOTE]
