[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 98548, member: 1233"] HUGS!!!! In no way are you a spoiled brat. We moved in with my parents a few years ago so husband could go to college. My health made it impossible otherwise. We needed the help. It was not all roses, not in any way. It was actually very traumatic at the end, but we all get along now. My difficult child actually moved back with them when he got violent. (HE is SOOO nuch better now. NOT perfect, but he is pretty darn good.) As for what the s2bx does, well, let him go off on a binge. It will make things harder on him. It might be a good (or great?) idea for you to go to AlAnon. Even though you are not living with the drunk, his behaviors are something you learned to deal iwth, and still have to deal with. Not all the coping skills we learn when living with someone with a substance abuse problems are positive skills in the long run. AlAnon really helps. Maybe when your Dad grumbles you could simply agree. "Yes, it really stinks what s2bx is doing. It is really horrible." Sometimes this acknowledgement is helpful. As for jobs, we could not find good daycare at many times. It was hard to find something that would keep my kids safe (from themselves and from others). I think the local Dept of Human Services should be able to help you find daycare that will be supportive. Maybe even a job with benefits!! Susie [/QUOTE]
