Hi,

I hope you are doing okay. I stopped speaking to my alcoholic and addicted father about six years ago. Last year he wound up needing medical care and someone to coordinate it all during his last few months of life. I reluctantly stepped in. It is very hard to do this for a parent who never seemed to put your own safety and care above their own desires. I wound up moving my father to hospice and sometimes wonder if I would have done that if we hadn't been estranged.
