My father is extremely smart, talented, hard working, good looking, very propper and polite, and I look up to him in so many ways. However, I struggle on a daily basis with the idea that my family and I just go through the motions of coming home from school/work, eat dinner together (usually), and then go our separatae ways, and yet we (myself and my mom) can't address the fact that his drinking affects our relationship with him.
Now by no means am seeking sympathy or searching for statements of how "things could be worse", I am just looking for ideas or expereinces about how you can tell a loved one that when he comes home everyday form work and drinks until he can't remember what we talked about the next morning, IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING and it is harmful to our relationship.
Has anyone experienced this dilema? Have any good advice??
