My family is considering disowning my father because of his alcoholism.

(My father just got out of a rehab. He was doing well. He's done it before and always returns to drinking. I got the call that he's been drinking for 2 days straight. I was the one that arranged for medical transport to take him to ER) <br><br>In the back of the ambulance, he kept telling the driver that he wants to be left alone and go care for himself, he doesn't want to go to rehab and such. He feels humiliated. I just hate seeing him like this. He's caused so much damage and hurt and now just want to be left alone. The fact that he doesn't want to be with family during the holidays (he's 82) just shows how lonely he is. The fact that he would rather die than get help shows how hopeless he is. Feel like I've tried everything, not sure what else to do.<br><br>Just got out of rehab, first Saturday he caused another big fight, second weekend he's in the ER again. I'm just wondering if he's just a lost cause and should accept his fate. It's really starting to affect my relationship with my sister. She's the one that has to go through the pain of watching him get worse just because I live too far away and only see him once in awhile. What sucks is that it doesn't feel like anyone has his back. I feel like he's just on a road to death and there's nothing I can do to help him. Just feels unfair.
