Gary,
I attempted to give her my views on her situation not the solution.I have many experiences growing up in an alcoholic family,but I defer to you because I am not an expert.There is no quick fix for what Mandi is encountering right now.I'm sure there are many people who want their loved ones to straighten themselves out quickly,but most of the time it doesn't happen that way.I'm sure Mandi will do what is best for her family.
