Tonight was a very taxing night. I was getting up from a nap due to this week being excessively stressful to find that my mother was drinking and trying to hide it from everyone. My mother has had a problem with alcohol from my knowledge since I was 6 years old. She is very tied to her anger and her passed experiences. When she is stressed she will do many things. When it is the worst though and nothing will work for her she drinks and tries to lie about it. When I was younger I would fight with her and try to get her to see the pain she was causing herself and the family. She is unfortunately a binge drinker. She can be fine and then after months something will happen that will set her off. I don't know how honestly to leave her to her own devices. I lost my father several years ago to Cancer and now I am losing her again. I honestly don't want to receive that phone call from the police or my brother that our mother has been found...
This has been a life long struggle for our family and any advice that anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. We have tried putting her in treatment programs. AA and the like and nothing has been successful. Any help and prayers on this very sensitive issue would be greatly appreciated. Much Love and Blessed Be!
