[quote=Anonymous]I am a middle aged woman who is well educated and has plenty of life experience and I find it difficult dealing with my mentally ill, explosive and verbally abusive mother. Your kids cannot do anything to force change if your ex doesn't want to change. Sure it would be great if she got a new psychiatrist and therapist, but she has to want to. They can certainly make it clear her drinking is a problem and set boundaries. Then they need to learn to detach with love. Therapy can help them do that. If she refuses to change there is nothing they can do but protect themselves.[/quote]
