I fight this every time I see my parents, and I see them a lot. They both drink heavily but my dad more than my mom. I know if my dad quit the drinking and the pills cold turkey he would die, but I wouldn’t say he is living right now either. He has a great time everyday and what not so I don’t know what to do. My mom on the other hand does drink everyday but its just few usually, but she likes to drink and get depressed. It’s so sad. She is trying to have a relationship with someone, who is actually a college sweetheart, and they see each other all the time. But I honestly thinks she just wants to move in with him because she could get to fish everyday and have someone to drink with too. Doesn’t sound like a terrible time so I don’t know what to do
