Thank you for all your kind and loving posts. It really means a lot to me. I have been tore up about this since mom told me

My mom tells me I should forgive him too. After 47 years of this type of stuff of course she does I just can't, not now any way.

I know it's a disease and wish he would get himself some help because he won't take any from us. He doesn't drink every day, but you don't need to drink every day to be an alcholic. Like I said, after 47 years...I really don't see him changing.

Once again, thank you all for being here and letting me share this.
