However, the very nice family across the street had to deal with a similar situation you mention on a daily basis. The father/husband was never mean, abusive or otherwise negative when we saw him, but I always wondered what effect(s) it must have had on his immediate family.<BR/>Thanks for sharing your Troy M.

He tried several times with the help of his immediate family and church one to overcome the addiction. Unfortunately he was never able to overcome the disease. It eventually cost him his life. It was so hard to witness the depth of the pain to his whole family. He was a sweet, kindhearted man.

Alcoholism has haunted my family - probably in bigger ways than I'll ever know - but I am eternally grateful my Dad had the sight to see beyond the actions he witnessed.
