Scenario

When siblings disagree about how to help an addicted parent

My brother and I have been avoiding talking about dad's drinking for years, but now that he's moved in with one of us temporarily, we can't pretend anymore that we're handling this the same way. I want to set boundaries and my brother thinks I'm being cruel, and dad is caught in the middle of something he doesn't even know we're disagreeing about.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
