kml,

Thanks for the support. And I realize Fank and Amy have only good intentions. I didn't want to start anything like this, just writing my feelings down, that helps me sometimes to let go of them.

And I agree w/you regarding the treatment program. That's what my C suggested as well. If you have someone who drinks and beats his family, it doesn't make sense to address the violence issue, you have to address the underlying cause first, the drinking.

But for some reason W doesn't see it this way. I suggest something, I'm a control freak. And now we are back to my major problem, W's MLC. She is too selfcentered. If she came out of her fog, we might be able to deal w/sS15's issues better if we were showing a united front. But again, I can NOT make her do that.
