[quote=Anonymous]I cut my angry alcoholic father off a year before he died. He was back on the bottle and he knew the rules: sobriety = contact. Angry drunk = no contact. I am terribly, terribly sad that he struggled with such horrible demons, that those demons ultimately killed him, and that he died alone. It's tragic. Do I wish it could have been different? OMG, yes. But, I don't own it. So, it's sadness, compassion, and longing for a different outcome, but not guilt. OP, I suggest you figure out some ground rules for your relationship with your dad. Very clear boundaries where if he does specific things, then he's sidelined. If he can play nice, he's allowed in. Then, enforce those rules and let it be up to him. You can't allow people to damage you, even family.[/quote]
