Progress not Perfection

I don't think anyone would think you are controlling, we've seen the consequences you have to deal with!

Lovely to get the gift vouvher from work.

I agree, you are looking after him and ensuring he doesn't have adverse reactions. Nothing controlling about that at all.

Lovely that you have been recognised again x

I think if he wanted it enough for its own sake, he'd go down the off licence, so the logic is he doesn't like not being in charge of it. You aren't stopping him altogether and he has his own money if he choses to spend it or send someone for it.

If he had a/f or a beer he doesn't like, and mixed it with his favourite, I assume it would dilute the taste for him - would that mean he threw the lot out and grumbled? Or would he drink it anyway, but enjoy it less? I remember my Dad, who used to smoke a pipe, switched to herbal tobacco (whatever that was), and didn't like it so gave up smoking. I think that the aim, though, so it probably wouldn't work on someone whose aim is to have his beer and wash it down with another!

Sorry, I'm not finding a way for you to win here, am I?

P.S. Now I am thinking of ridiculous hiding place for beer… You don't think behind the bath panel would be a good idea, do you? 😁My favourite would be inside the base of his chair…

I had better let you get on with your work, and get back to mine.

No, of course you are not being controlling. You are doing what is best for him, but he doesn't see that. Whether he doesn't want to see it, or doesn't have the capacity, I'm not sure. But you are definitely doing what is best for him.

No you are not being controlling you are taking care of him as he is unable or unwilling to manage his intake

Absolutely do not think that you are being controlling.
