On behalf of a friend:
She's divorced from an alcoholic, 50/50 parenting. Ex is decent when he's sober, a royal jerk when he's drunk. He remarried to another drinker, lots of yelling and fighting going on. Recently friend's ex "hit rock bottom" (second wife kicked him out) and has since been going to AA, promising to change his ways, etc. Friend is cautiously optimistic but understandably suspicious that this transformation may not last. She's looking for advice and help in her situation.
Question: Has anyone here gone to Al-Anon as the ex-partner and co-parent (rather than current partner) of an alcoholic? If so, was it useful?
