[quote=Anonymous]I'm very sorry, OP. What your daughter is doing is not right, but you are kind of powerless to do anything about it unless you want to call her out as a liar, which will cause more harm than good. IMO, the best course of action may be to come up with a couple of sentences that skirt her "recovering alcoholic" narrative, e.g., "DH was motivated to stop drinking for health reasons. We [or he] never saw his drinking as problematic, but he is much healthier now so it was definitely the right decision for him." People who remain in your lives will eventually realize that your daughter was exaggerating. The opinions of those who don't remain in your lives won't matter in the long run.[/quote]
