[quote=Anonymous]OP, my mom is an alcoholic. I can't tell you how hard it is dealing with someone who drinks. When they're sober they're a different person, and I think your young mind focused on the good parts with your dad (as it should have). I'm only saying, from the perspective of someone who lived with an alcoholic and had her negatively impact my life in so many ways, I would give your mom some grace for what must have been a really hard thing for her to go through. I don't condone asking you and your siblings to pressure your dad for more money, and I'm sure she didn't act perfectly in all ways. But I would say that I don't think you harboring any anger or resentment towards her will do anything positive for your life. Assume she did the best she could in a horrible situation, and forgive yourself. Seek therapy if you're still troubled by this. Guilt is an awful thing to bear, and you shouldn't have to carry that around. [/quote]
