Mike,
I'm not going to repeat my message about children with drug problems - you can look for it if you're interested. Believe me that Rehab causes almost NO emotional pain/damage relative to LIVING with a relative with a drug problem. Whether it's Coke, Alcohol, Heroin or anything else it will destroy the entire family faster than anything else short of a physical disaster. There is no such thing as a drug that affects ONLY the person taking it.

>Having your uncle come out of the closet could cause the same or more emotional pain and damage to a family as having one go to rehab, it all depends on how open-minded the person is.
