[quote=Anonymous]First, your daughter cannot visit them alone ever again. She is a child; it's not her responsibility to act like an adult by refusing to drive with someone who has been drinking. Next, although I cannot imagine why you respect your dad, there are plenty of other ways for your daughter to get to know him. Like PPs have said, visit in neutral places. Go to a restaurant or park or museum. Always have an exit strategy. Try to plan activities where alcohol would not otherwise be served or welcomed. Finally, consider attending Al-Anon meetings yourself. I think you may need to figure out why you "respect" your father and are insistent that your daughter be permitted to have a relationship with him. I'm an adult child of an alcoholic, so I know this is tough, but you have got to be firm -- not just for your daughter's physical safety, but for her emotional health as well. [/quote]
