[quote=Anonymous]I'm worried about alcoholism being genetic. I'm worried about the fact that my husband thinks it's okay to keep secrets. I'm worried that my husband is asking me to keep this secret, which is blatantly obvious to most people. I also am worried that my husband would use our son as a pawn to coerce his dad into getting help. I think our son should have a relationship with his grandfather, even if he is sick and can't be left alone with him. I don't agree in giving my FIL an ultimatum or cutting him off from our kids. Seriously I'm wondering why my husband kept this from me and why he is asking me to cover it up. I also think his dad is the only person who can get help. I don't know what to do. If you have an alcoholic family member, how do you encourage them to get help without being coercive or judgmental? How do I talk to my husband about this secret and regain his trust? I've never had anyone lie to me about something like this. I also think burying your hand in the sand and wishing the problem away won't help his dad or the family.[/quote]
