My dad has been an alcoholic ever since I remember him. Basically for most of his adult life he’s been addicted to alcohol. He had few years here and there where he was sober. He is in his 60s now and has been on the longest bender. He becomes the worst version of himself when he is drunk and says nasty things to my sister and mom who live with him and sometimes even gets physical. My poor sister is so stressed out that she had thoughts of self harm. I live in a different country and can’t visit them anytime soon and feel helpless. They’re in a third world country and the rehab he’s been to doesn’t do proper treatment. The rehab doesn’t even want him there anymore because he threatens them when he is there. Basically he’s harming himself and everyone around him. We are just out of ideas on how to help him and what to do. I’m honestly surprised he is still alive with the amount of abuse he’s done to his body. I love him but I hate the fact that he is harming himself and my family.When he is sober in the morning he acts like everything is normal and when confronted he just says he is going to fix it. I just wanted to share this and see if there is any advice anyone can offer ? I feel like my dad keeps drinking because he doesn’t face any consequences. I’m thinking if having my mom move to another apartment would have him take the situation more seriously?

Hi friends. Wanted to ask if anyone was able to successfully get disability benefits due to COVID in USA ? I’d appreciate any insights and details about the process and how long it took. I’m currently employed full time and my job offers long term disability. As I understand there is a process where one gets an FMLA first.
