[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 520352, member: 13542"] Giulia, I am not entirely sure of the issue you are having, I think the language barrier has come into play. It is a very unusual and yet endearing expression, [I]"big girl therapeutic panties" [/I]which made me smile. I hope this is appropriate and that I am understanding your issue, it sounds as if you are insisting that your father be tested for his drivers license because he has driven drunk and that you are attempting to see a Dr. to either verify this or make this test happen. Is that correct? Here on this site, many of us have to learn how to focus on ourselves rather then our difficult child's, perhaps your lessons are the same with your Dad? We have to let go and accept what is. We have to understand the difference between what we can control and what we can't control. It all takes time and commitment and help from others, often therapists and support groups. You already have counselors and GP's in your corner, perhaps you can talk to them about enabling your Dad? Or is this a one shot deal, where you are simply attempting to have his license revoked so he can't drive at all? I'm sorry if I am not getting the issues correctly. If I am not, please attempt to clarify it for us. Thanks. Hugs to you. And prayers that you get the support and advice you require to make good healthy choices. And my wish that you sleep well and don't worry so much because it is impacting your health in negative ways. God bless you............ [/QUOTE]
