This might work but it ALL depends on how your wife feels about this situation. The last thing you want this to do is put a wedge between you & her but I also know sometimes with this being her father she's just gonna kind of let him go & do what he wants without making a big to do over it (especially if he's already being doing this for years). Its kinda like correcting your child, if you don't start early enough with them then its gonna be too late by the time they're a teenager. And this kinda sounds like this has already been going on for years so its really going to be hard to stop it all now (like ole' barney on Andy Griffin said, you have to nip it in the bud). But, man you HAVE to think about YOU & YOUR Family first & foremost, especially the kids & hopefully your wife will stand behind you on this. I mean enough's ENOUGH! NEVER let your kids get in the car & go somewhere with him, an alcoholic can get liquor Anywhere & Will. Good Luck & keep us informed. Also, alot will have to do with how you approach him, get you a gameplan before you go in! jmo!
