I have a good friend and she has a dysfunctional family. Her dad is an alcohlic, her mom is mean, her grandma is mean and probably an alcoholic. Her family is full of enablers, including herself, but they probably don’t know it. I happen to know a bit about this since there are lots of alcoholics in my own family.

Give advice or just listen?
