I DO understand what an incredibly hard decision this was for you and am so pleased that you found the courage to make it. Perhaps by saying no to the hospital, that Greg could not come home, you may have opened the door for him to receive the right care and treatment which the NHS are very reluctant to provide. I don't think alcoholism is really considered to be an illness by the medical establishment. As soon as the word 'alcohol' is mentioned, the patient is denied proper care.<BR/>God Bless.

Sometimes we just have to think about ourselves and our own happiness. <BR/><BR/>And you never know - the choice you make might be very good for the other person. And in Greg's state - perhaps he'll never know the difference. <BR/><BR/>Growing a backbone really hurts doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you my friend. And no - you haven't been bothering me at all. I've missed your emails lately. That is when I get time to sit at this thing.
