She knows that they have a problem and it worries her, her biological dad died due to alcohol related stuff (no great loss there though) and she doesn't want the same thing to happen to her parents now. Her mothers side are prone to serious illnesses and it worries her. They are alcoholics and she is going to talk to them although I am not sure how much good it will do.
Ah, I see, so she is well aware her parents are alcoholic. Well, that is something! It's really bad when not only he alcoholic seem oblivious to his-her problem, but is much worse when the closest relatives seem to be in a bit of denial as well. It's great your fiancee is going to talk with them, maybe she can talk to her mom about going to AA meetings? Sometimes attending to one of those meetings can be a great start, she doesn't need to go up the podium the first times...
Well, by the looks of it, they don't seem to want to stop, and change must initially come from the person himself, not from other people, so if they keep making excuses so that they could drink, then there's not much hope that they will change anytime soon.
That is very hard and it confuses me a bit as to how you can be in denial but so many people are. Yes She is going to talk to them both about quitting and getting support as she knows after so long it will not be easy for them to quit. That is good to know thank you as her mother gets very anxious about stuff like that.
