[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm speechless about your lack of response to your DIL. Just a kind word during this time of struggles would have gone a long way. Instead you've been stone silent. [/quote] Her own husband is an active alcoholic, the patterns are very entrenched, it's what DS was raised with and OP is likely passive and co-dependent if not a drinker herself. So I get why DIL reached out but they are among the last people likely to have a healthy response to the issue. If it's bad for grandkids, then what about what they provided DS, etc. DS likely needs medical detox. Hopefully DIL has other support. Many stick it out as long as possible due to fears re: kids and safety with drunk parent, esp if young or if will be driven. Doubt her FOO was too healthy or she may have met FIL and bounced. It's a generational pattern far too often. [/quote]
