[quote=Anonymous]When I went to Al-Anon I started thinking of my mom as the alcoholic in the family (at the time the alcoholic was my dad) and every time I wanted her to be different I just kept reminding myself that she was incapable of changing. I also started setting boundaries with her. Not fighting or trying to convince her to be different, just not engaging on certain things. It was hard for me to change. And my mom did get mad at me when I told her that I didn't want to hear how horrible my father was. But setting boundaries helped me find some relief and eventually my relationship with her got better. But I was the one who changed. She never did. Good luck, OP. This will be hard to do but you can do it![/quote]
