[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you intervene if you adult son is an alcoholic and his drinking is causing health and marital problems and your DIL is seeking your help by saying she is going to divorce him and he needs help? Should you intervene or stay out of their way. We feel that this is something they have to work out,[b] we can't take sides [/b]so we haven't replied to DIL's request for help yet. We feel like we should probably reply but don't know what to say. [/quote] Interesting that you view it as "taking sides". You seem to acknowledge that your son is an alcoholic, and that it is causing health and relationship problems. Acknowledging that isn't taking sides, it's just refusing to continue to enable. Lots of folks recommend Al-Anon. I think it would be wise for both you and your DIL to reach out to them.[/quote]
