What I am beginning to realize, I admit, is a bit beyond me. Some time ago I came across an article about ACOAs and while reading it I realized that the person closest to me is just such a person. It was after reading it that I stopped being surprised by some behaviors that seemed simply strange to me. My partner has a father who, according to her, has been drinking for a long time. I would like to help her but I have no idea how. If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful for the help.
