What kind of behaviours do you struggle with if you have a family member who has brain damage from heavy drinking and how do you cope? A close friend of mine is having a difficult time with things her 69 year old brother says and does who stopped drinking around 4 years ago but he has recently been diagnosed with ARBD. She thinks a lot of the odd behaviour is caused by the brain damage. She is due to go to Croatia with him and their adult children at Easter but she is worried how he’ll behave particularly around the women in their family.
