[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother drank like this when I was young. My memory of her is that she was always so tired on weeknights. She would be just useless after dinner and in bed by 8-9pm for sure. By high school I was old enough to connect the dots. Some evenings she would say really cutting things and I realized she was drunk. She started to always say no to coming to my extra curricular events, even when I won awards. And I've had to help her to bed. She was always mortified the next morning but never made a change.

More than one glass of wine is unhealthy. Stop now. Create a healthier evening ritual for winding down. It doesn't have to only be a drink of some kind. How about soft slippers and bathrobe, a foot soak, a nice lotion, as well as some different kinds of tea.[/quote]

Not OP, but in a similar situation.......this above post hit me hard.  I feel like the PP describing her mother is describing me. I am useless to my kids by 9pm, too tired for a story, irritable.....and that is only after 1-2 small glasses.  I don't want them to have this memory of me....to "connect the dots" and look back and think their mother had a problem.  So unattractive and depressing. I am going to remember this post when I reach for that evening glass of wine next time.[/quote]
