Itās a real mess, you canāt choose life for someone, they need to make that choice themselves. Too bad so much is lost in the meantime.Just my fight was smoking.
My step Dad was a alcoholic cost him his kids.
His wife then died from it.
Ma did not connect with him for 40 years after.
He was faced with the loss of her and their home in his 70's.
He did give up the booze then go figure !
