My father is suffering from years of alcohol abuse. Do you have anyone in your family dealing with alcoholism?
Yes, my brother is. It's a terrible thing.
I am sorry to hear that. I know firsthand how much of a negative impact it can have on a family. Our biggest scares always revolved around my dad drinking and driving.
Alcoholism is a serious problem in our society today. Too much drinking and driving.
I agree. It was not until his health started to decline with his liver failing that he finally started to listen to us regarding his drinking.
I'm sorry to hear that. My brother's marriage fell apart because of his drinking.
That's so rough. My mother was estranged from my father for a long time. It was not until the cirrhosis of his liver kicked in that she came back into the picture to care for him.
That's terrible. And it happens in households all through our country.
