My mom passed just over a year ago. Since then my father has turned to alcohol and possibly drugs to mask his depression. Also been hanging with women 30-40 years younger who are addicts themselves. He has been taken advantage of to the extent of almost all his savings that he's worked so hard for 40 years to accumulate plus the insurance money left to him by my mom when she passed on these younger women. I've expressed my concerns but he will not admit he needs help. I know he's filling a void with the women and the alcohol and he's so depressed he can't see he's being taken advantage of. I don't know what to do.

I have gone through similar situations with my brother and sister. They both eventually died from their addictions but not before destroying their lives and causing great suffering to my family. After years of trying to help I finally had to back away from them.
(Does your Dad still visit with you or allow you to visit him? Is he sober at those times? )
