Oh I remember now. It's so appalling. I mean I don't think they need to bad mouth him but at least support you in your decision. That's tough.

My parents were first unhappy I refused to marry my ex ( he is an alcoholic), they then didn't understand why drinking bothers me ( like because he is functioning and has a great career and is a very nice person and loves me I shouldn't be upset about his drinking). Until someone lived with alcoholic no matter how functioning and how much they love you , they can't even relate. When he didn't drink I used to worry he'll start again etc

I now live in perpetual bliss after 9 years of worrying about someone's drinking.

My family is accepting of my fiancée but don't gush over him the way they did with my ex. My sister in law is the most bizarre of them all obsessing over my ex. They are nice to my fiancée but frankly kind of aloof. Yet they were all over my alcoholic ex. Oh well. Families could be tough

We are here to support you
