Mother-In-Law Needs Help for Alcoholism



Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I have the world's worst in-laws. My mother-in-law is an alcoholic who is emotionally and physically abusive. My father-in-law is such an enabler. After we unplugged the phone to avoid her harassing calls, he would drive her to our house. She would pound on our door in the middle of the night. Many times she has pounded me with her fists in a drunken rage. She would even call my parents and harass them. She was so evil and hateful in the things that she said to me.

Signed,

Rotten in-laws
