Thanks Kiwi and Jamar. There is a history of Paranoid Schizophrenia in his family. Drink really exacerbates this. He takes no meds and will not go for any assessments.

I am a little happier that you guys feel we are doing the right thing. Deep down he knows we were always there picking him up, lets hope he can see that he needs to make even a small step to help himself. The extended family would be there for him but threatening our safety and at times our lives, well I have to draw a line in the sand.

He is at risk presently of loosing his job after 30 years, they have been very understanding but they can no longer accept him arriving smelling of alcohol.

Hey Jamar, you did good and now your helping others. Take the credit where it's due.

A deep thanks
