Dutch courage

Today, my dad turned up drunk to an intervention for my brother's drug addiction. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Maybe they should seek help together. If they can hold each other accountable, they may both be successful

Good luck to your brother. He'll have to work hard to overcome your family's tendencies.

What the **** is the point of pressing both. This is obviously an FYL, it's not even really debatable

Well, addiction does have genetic factors, some people are more prone to it than others, sounds like your brother inherited it from dad's side. Knowing that might be actually a boon, because it will be something to stem off some of the self loathing at what he might see as weakness, but it also might be used as an excuse not to try to break the addiction.

Now you know where it comes from

Sounds like there's many an intervention to be had

Get some support for yourselves too - it is SO SO hard to be the family or loved one of someone with an addiction. There are family support groups and helplines out there.

Like father like son.

Why was your dad even invited?

That is not OK
