Rosemary, my eldest sister was an alcoholic and I know

from first hand experience that if they are not motivated

not merely to quit guzzling, but re-examine their lives and

get some kind of meaningful help---there is little help. My

middle child who has this tendency slugged for 3.5 years

and got up one morning at age 16.5 and quit--all of it! She

got her GED, went to work full time (legal in California), moved in with a

friend female), and went to Adult school,

then Community college and applied for a big-time job with

a computer outfit and walked in and said that she did NOT

have a master's degree (as rerquired). She got the job, moved on up, is still

there, has a B.A. in History, and is

totally sober and free of all substance use--great cook!

Too bad that hubby cannot save himself, even if the marriage is really sort of

over. My heart goes out to you!

Love,

n Rojas, whose heart is rather enlarged!

CF in Familes/Rosemary/Deb-Long rambling

You are so sweet...I am having a very hard time with school. My husband has

been drinking like a fish, thus I have not been studying. I have to go a

business trip this week but I am hoping that when I come back to tell him to

leave.

Last night was horrible. He was drinking and screaming so I quietly took the

kids and we all went to my friends and returned when he was out cold and

drooling. In the car my son (10) said... " You and Dad will get divorced when

Dylan

goes to College " . I was like WHAT?? Apparently his teacher said that

parents that fight now usually divorce when their kids go to college.

(13)

chimes in " Why don't you divorce him already...enough is enough " ....My

guidance

counselor said Alholics are happy one minute crazy the next just like DAD....

added - " its not like Dad does anything with us " ................

I am so freaked out. I know what I must do for my children's sake but am

totally terrified of him and being broke and the kids getting sick and being

spread too thin. I Know he does NOTHING anyway - he doesn't even know their

damn

treatments.............

No, no, despite my references to myself as the cyberspace

" grinch, " the enlarged heart is a joke--due to cf!

No biggie, at least not yet!
