RE: How to limit my family's liability?

Those were some really raw non-answers that most of you gave, but it did get me to thinking, so thank you.

You are right, I wasn't thinking of others, but then, I don't see anything I can do to help them. I would, however, like to protect my family from the effects of their dad's behavior.

What gives you cretins the belief that I have ANY control over any of this? I am living with someone who is an addict. He is not drunk when he leaves the house, and I have other responsibilities in addition to babysitting a grown man 24/7. He usually leaves when I am not there, but even if I am there (and he is not usually drinking then), you can't make him not go out if he chooses to. If he is really bad, his buddies will bring him home, but as the commercial says "buzzed driving is drunk driving." Even if I was to take his keys, his classic car will start without a key.

So thanks for the kind words.

Update:

Thank you ?, are you also on the horse YA! page?

I have been blessed with a very wonderful life, and this is the largest burden I have ever carried. I will check out the link you gave me. I really need some support, and there is not much around here in real life. :(
