[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For 15 years she has been a drinker and yet you were ok with having her watch your child for a couple nights? Are you nuts too?[/quote] I don't live nearby and thought the situation was improving, but should have known better[/quote] I'm in this exact situation and the biggest thing I've learned is that it doesn't "improve." The only way it gets better is if the alcoholic stops drinking entirely. This was hard for me to accept because I don't think my mother will ever choose to get sober or go to treatment, so it means accepting she will never be the mother or grandmother she should be. That hurts. But accepting this has also let me focus on my own life and family. We visit once a year and my mother is never allowed to watch my child alone or drive us anywhere.[/quote]
