SailorJohn;
Welcome to SR and the MH forum!
Looks like you're a "double winner!" Alcoholic and codependent.
I highly recommend a book called Codependent No More, by Melody Beattie. And to visit our Friends and Family of Alcoholics forum here on SR. Because Latte is right. You cannot help someone who will not help themselves. And you will get caught up in their chaos. It can, and it will, drag you down if you don't learn how to seperate yourself and detach with love. She needs to find her own way. If her children are in danger, call social services. It's the kindest thing you can do. My son is an addict; I speak from experience.
I wish you well on your journey. Please let us know how it's going for you. We care.
Shalom!
