The weather is pleasant here in Seattle. Temperatures in the low 70s. The rain is abating. I've been taking my laptop to work outside.
The brother-in-law called this morning. He is drunk. The brother-in-law spent part of his morning on the phone with the husband, crying about his problems.
The brother-in-law doesn't want to see his mother while he is drunk.
The husband is letting go. He's not going to rescue the brother-in-law this time. The brother-in-law must address his own problem. No amount of our help will help. We have to accept that the brother-in-law is going to be a drunk. Helping him, cushioning his falls, helping him recover, is wasting our time.

The Grandson lives in Washington State and Loves it there because of the Weather. Here it's 134 Degrees on the Thermometer in my Truck when I get in now... Officially it was 118 at the Airport, 10 feet off the Ground and over Grass. *LOL* As for enabling Addicts, best not to and it is hard to just let them Fall when you Care... but necessary.
