I'm so sorry, I'm gathering from your tone that I offended you and I didn't mean to do that.

I didn't mean to criticize her and of course she has the right. The question is really, will it be effective, not it is her right.
His drinking has everything to do with HIS behavior, and that, In my opinion as well as extensive personal experience, impacts your behavior, and the children's as well.
I didn't mean for you and the kids to go to AA--you are not the alcholics--I meant to suggest you go to Alanon and Alateen--these two programs are for the families.
BTW..."God" is the central element of the AA, Alanon, and Alateen programs. People who haven't tried them don't usually know this.
