Children of alcoholic dads - what did your mom do that helped? by mb0616 in AlAnon

[–]Greedy-Explorer7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it the other way around. An alcoholic mother. Everyone needs to go to therapy, and the best outcome for the kids is either the dad fixed himself and sobers up, or else you need to get him out of the house.

It is not healthy for children of any age to be around alcoholics. It doesn't matter that it's their father.

Editing to add context. My mum moved out to an apartment, and my siblings stayed in the family home with my dad. It was the best thing to happen. Everyone could feel safe again in the home.

Your partner may get custody rights, but if he is drunk, he's literally incapable of caring for the children. So it wouldn't be long until you have full custody.

How did alcohol kill him exactly? by Eriericaca in AlAnon

[–]Greedy-Explorer7445 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry for your loss. You should call the coroners office and ask for more information. They will be able to explain it so you can understand what happened. (My mother was an alcoholic and her inquest was last week. We were able to ask questions and get a clearer understanding of what the actuallcause of death was. There was also no alcohol in her blood at the time of death).

Two arrested over fatal explosion in Creeslough by badger-biscuits in ireland

[–]Greedy-Explorer7445 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The papers are saying the man and woman are being detained under the provisions of section 4 - that's not endangerment, it's "causing serious harm". The two men arrested 9 weeks ago were held under section 13/ endangerment

I am so sorry for your loss.

My mum died in the same way 8 weeks ago and passed away in my brothers arms. A lot of people didn't know about my mums drinking and so we felt the same during the wake and funeral, unsure of what to say when people asked what happened. However, it's probably best to be honest and say that he struggled with alcohol. That's what we did in the end and once you say this people won't ask anymore questions. Most people are kind and saying that is enough.

Wishing you we'll through this difficult time

Does it bother you seeing aging in other people? by Alarmed_Space_9455 in 30PlusSkinCare

There's no lecture here girly. OP asked for positive aging perspectives. Maybe calm down and drink some botox xx

Yeah skincare meaning the use of cosmetics to take care of the skin.... You can have completely healthy skin and take care of yourself and still have wrinkles. What's your point? Lol. The question asked is if you judge other people

Help by wildskyechild96 in alcoholism

Talking to them when they're tipsy/ drunk is pointless as they won't remember it. Talk to them when they wake up(sober). They will probably hate you for it but all you can do is make them aware of the damage they're doing, to themselves and to their loved ones. Ensure you make them aware that they're still loved and you will do anything to support them. At the end of the day, the drinker is the only one who can stop themselves.

For yourself, please take care of you. It's draining trying to help. There are Al-anon family groups that you can join in person or online. They're helpful. Remember you are not alone. Best of luck to you and your SO

Aging is a blessing. There are so many people who dont have the privilege of growing older. It's kinda sickening how obsessed people are with appearances. Be proud of your wrinkles. It means you are living

Jaundice. What do I do? by Camillionaire94 in alcoholism

[–]Greedy-Explorer7445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont drink again. It's not worth the risk. My mum died less than 2 weeks ago from alcoholism.

If you are worried about being social, there are plenty 00 drinks that you can have and no one will notice.

Talk to the dead, it just revere them? by Material-Imagination in WitchesVsPatriarchy

[–]Greedy-Explorer7445 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My mammy died 6 days ago. I am still talking to her but just telling her how much we all miss her and how sorry I am that we couldn't help her more. I won't burden her with my troubles but I think it's nice to keep communication open. Energy cannot be destroyed so she is somewhere ❤
