Tipper,

Gotta say I agree with Jack on this one...

I grew up living with alcoholics...

When I moved, I knew I didn't ever want to live with a drinker again...

Over the years, I sort of forgot why...

Then MIL moved in with us. She has always had alcohol problems...

It didn't take long for me to remember what it is like living with a drinker.

For me, it is something I will never do again. It is a deal breaker.

There is help for these issues and it can be very successful if they want it to be...

Just remember, that it isn't your choice whether he gets help or not, but it is your choice to live with or without it...

Either way, there is support out there...

(((hugs)))
