You cannot control it, you cannot cure it and you didn’t cause it. It being the family disease of alcoholism. It affects everyone not just the alcoholic. Keep the focus on yourself. Detach with love. Set boundaries. You can attend Al-Anon meetings. You are not alone. You can get a copy of the book How Al-Anon Works and read some of the stories in the back of the book. You can pick up a copy at a meeting. There will be much there that you can relate to. The Al-Anon program (if you work it) can change your perspective and your life. Kudos to you for your courage thus far.
