OP- yep, I've been thinking maybe things will be different now that she's a grandma. They aren't- it's unfortunate. I see that I need to stop caring and do right by DS. My mother requested to watch him a couple nights, and fortunately she showed her true colors (again) before we left him in her care. Sucks but overall is good to see going forward. Cheers to her, that she can't even keep it together for a long weekend with her grandson staying with her.

I know you are really angry with her right now OP. Probably really hurt too because her refusing to quit is a rejection of you and your son. But eventually you will reach a point where you are not even angry anymore. You will just became healthfully detached, maybe even have some gentle pity for her. That is the true freedom, when you reach a point where this no longer dominates your thoughts or is part of your everyday life.

I never went to Al-Anon. Not my thing. But a therapist familiar with treating adult children of alcoholics was very helpful for reaching this next level.[/quote]
