[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 653060, member: 1233"] I am really sorry that you are dealing with this. As the sibling of an alcoholic, I know what games they play and how the denial, blame and triangulation can truly ruin lives. I hope that at some point he can get sober and into some type of recovery because it truly can lead to a great life. Please, please please spend some time reading and researching adult children of alcoholics to learn what your kids will likely have to cope with as adults. I am an adult grandchild on both sides (not that one side will acknowledge it openly - I have relatives who even now after the addicted one has been gone for decades will not admit it!) and it did serious damage to my parents and some damage to my bro and I. Learning about those issues can help you protect your children and get them help to deal with them. I am sorry you have to deal with all of this. It is difficult to deal with an alcoholic on a daily basis or even a semi-regular basis. Having the rest of the games on top of it all is more than anyone should have to handle. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
