Dear Amy: We don’t want to hinder a relationship, but the drinking hasn’t stopped, and we’re worried about safety and setting a healthy example for our kids.
His parents were able to visit with us a few weeks ago.It was apparent that his father, who has struggled with various self-medicating strategies for chronic pain, has continued down the road of alcoholism.
We did not anticipate how anxious we would be to have him in our house interacting with our babies. Nothing bad has happened, but we feel the need to do something, especially since they are interested in spending more time with us. What is an appropriate way to proceed? Your husband should approach their father’s drinking without attaching shame and harsh judgment. It is a fact of his life – it is real, it is happening, and the consequences attached should be specific and proportionate.
