[quote=Anonymous]As I child of an alcoholic parent - there is absolutely no point in arguing about anything with an alcoholic WHILE THEY ARE DRUNK. Don't waste your time and energy, and definitely don't hope for any resolution, moment of revelation or intelligent discussion. Just try to avoid the situation where you even meet her under these circumstances, and if that cannot be done, keep the interaction basic and minimal. "You think Obama is the worst president? Here, do you want more coleslaw?". When she's sober, you can switch to: "You think Obama is the worst president? I happen to be convinced Trump is the worst president. Lets agree to disagree." And make clear to your husband that you refuse to participate in nasty situations and ridiculous arguments, so you'll be limiting your interaction with mom, however he is, of course, free to spend time and communicate with mom as much as he likes. You may reconsider if things [meaning: her attitude] improves.[/quote]
