[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 757799, member: 18958"] He is a serious alcoholic. In all likelihood this health crisis has been caused or exacerbated by his heavy drinking. This current situation or some other iteration is the inevitable consequence of his behaviors. The only control a parent has here is boundaries: How close in we choose to be, to get the blow by blow. I use that term consciously, blow by blow. We have no control over the behaviors and choices of another adult, even a beloved child, but we do have the ability to choose what we do and what enters our daily consciousness. Until we get that we have a choice, we suffer. That is based upon my personal experience. Any well-being achieved by our children will be attained through their personal choices, not ours. Until we get that we suffer. I am sorry. [/QUOTE]
