Dear Abby Advises Tough Love for Alcoholic Sons and Resetting Friendship Boundaries

A mother seeks advice on how to deal with her adult alcoholic sons who fight and blame each other, causing her distress.
Dear Abby advises the mother to draw the line and attend Al-Anon meetings for support.
The mother should tell her sons that she will no longer tolerate alcohol in her home and that they need to settle their differences like adults.
The mother should also tell her older son that he needs to comply and get help to sober up, or he will have to find another place to live.
Another person seeks advice on how to tell a relative that they want to pursue their own activities and not feel trapped by weekly dinners.
