Hi, I'm new here
Permalink  

I found this website, and have been reading a lot of the posts. It has been helpful, I feel like someone else might actually "get" what I am going through.

My mom is an alcoholic and is so deep in denial. (and so out of control) She stopped drinking a few months ago and I found out she was drinking mouthwash by the caseloads. She and I have not spoken in over a week, which is really unusual for us. Everyone else in the family enables her. I realized that I need to focus on my husband and family. Guess what, this is the best I have felt in a long time. I feel like I am on an emotional vacation. I know it'll be short lived....

Thanks for listening to my vent.

This is the place to be marie. And good for you for putting your family first. I know you love Mom, but you cannot control or cure her drinking. You CAN take care of YOU!!!

Best wishes, Diva
