hi all, if you remember me, my dh is an active alcoholic. i do my program and take care of myself. for the most part, i am happy in my relationship with dh.
yesterday i was visiting daughter-in-law. she was in tears. my 33yr. old son is also alcoholic. he is a mean drunk. they have a 10 yr. old daughter and a 1 month old son. daught-in-law says she wants to talk to my granddaughter about her fathers alcoholism. i think it's a great idea. i think she should take her to an alanon meeting. i talked to her about alanon and of course she is resistive. i am willing to take her to a meeting myself.
it is so sad to see her hurting. she is in so much anguish. i asked her if she is afraid of my son and she said "yes at times." ( he has been violent with her in the past,i'm sure more than she is willing to admit.)
please some prayer for her. thanks and have a great day.....
I am sorry about the 10 yr old , would dil mind if u got her some alateen literature ? their A Day AT A Time reader is awsome , they could read a page every nite it will help her understand what is going on and just might help mom as well . those teens keep things pretty simple they get right to the point , I love the alateen lit it is very possitive . prayers for your family Louise
You are awesome! I never had any suppor from my husbands mother. Actually, she used to send the drug dealers to my house to drop off her pain pills and alwlays had a roll of paper towels w/my name on it and constantly joked that they were for me when my hubby fell off the wagon to wipe my tears.
Alcholism is a family disease. It effects everyone, as you already know and respect.
I will be praying for you and your family. It takes team of people who love the A to keep themselves well. I encourage you to take Abby's adivice, she's got atlot of wisdome that lady! ( HUGS ABBY- hehe)
Your DIL is blessed to have you on her side. God is good all the time, i'm confident he'll bless your days.
