[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, well, we did call our son and he said he is quitting. So we didn't say anything about it. As for DIL, she is upset that we never replied her message. It's been 3 weeks since she reached out. [/quote] “He said he is quitting.” If he’s really got a drinking problem, that means he’s quitting between drinks, not giving up alcohol. What specifically does she want? For you to join in an intervention? There is only so much you can do, and getting drawn into the vortex of whatever she has going on won’t be helpful. Unless she has a coherent goal you can contribute to she’d be better off trying Al-anon (may require some shopping around for a good meeting fit) or getting a lawyer.[/quote]
