My db has had many issues over the years and for the last few has been drinking heavily, He sometimes calls me when drunk,very emotional, unpleasant, blaming , etc and frequently calls 999. He does not appear to be making any proper effort to get help or treatment. His 2 teenage children are failing at school and don’t see him much. He blames everyone else for his issues and does not appear to take much responsibility.
i have some issues which are made a thousand times worse when he calls or now even the thought he could call.
Aibu to either cut contact or tell him I can’t cope with his behaviour?

You could write him a letter explaining his behaviour is hurting his children and you and himself

good luck, from experience they never change, so sorry x
