[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 705226, member: 1550"] I am so sorry about your father. If your wife is an alcoholic, and it sounds as if her family all thinks so, then she should not drink at all. You can not control drinking if you have a drinking problem. Sounds also as if she is in serious denial. Maybe you are as well. It makes sense that she is okay with her son's substance abuse since she is the same. She will not be hard on him if she also won't stop. I suggest Al Anon for you. You are living with two substance abusers. I am sorry. You can't stop her but you can decide whether you want to live with it or not. If you do decide to stay there are ways to cope better without enabling. Al Anon is good for all of this. [/QUOTE]
