When parents and adult children can't talk about addiction

My adult daughter and I both know she has a drinking problem but whenever I try to bring it up she shuts down and when she's ready to talk about it I don't know how to respond without making it worse and we're stuck in this cycle of worry and distance.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
