[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]versus a mom who [b]just loves her wine[/b]?[/quote]I realized late in my mom's life that she was an alcoholic.  The focus for years had been on my father who was a recovering alcoholic and after my father's death it became apparent that my mother was also addicted to alcohol.  But she no doubt appeared to be someone who just "loved her wine."  All this is to say that it is possible for a person to be an alcoholic and hide it and do few of the things that pps are describing here.  I knew it when my mom complained to me that my alcoholic brother whose wife had kicked him out of the house would have to move in with her after he finished detox because that meant she would have to hide all the alcohol and why couldn't he just quit drinking like my dad did and still live with alcohol in the house?

Anyway, not saying that's the case with your mom, OP, (if that's who we're talking about) just that addiction can have a serious negative impact on families which isn't reflected by out of control drinking.[/quote]
