[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Child of an alcoholic mom. I know you are but I can't reiterate enough: GET HER HELP. Your kids absolutely require it. I could go on for pages about the ways I became attuned to my moms alcoholism growing up and the repercussions it has had on me as an adult (some of which I am still discovering, in my 30s). It will impact their relationship with her *for life* if she doesn't get a handle on it. And they will unequivocally, 100% believe that even though she loved them, she loved alcohol more. And that is what will be what they'll never forget. [/quote]

Also the child of an alcoholic mom.  She held down a job (started her own company, worked with big banks), threw great parties, kept our house nice, etc., so this all happened during my UMC childhood.  Her drinking got worse as I got older, and at one point while drunk she told me she wished I'd never been born.  She doesn't remember saying this and of course says she didn't mean it, but I'll never forget it.  We are not close.  My kids have met her once.  Get your wife help NOW.  Your kids are being affected.[/quote]
