Thank you nici.
It is really hard, cuz I really love my mom.
I have so many happy memories of her to, and it makes me so sad to see her in such denial and so different.
I'm still having a hard time accepting it, cuz she's still here, and she's so hopeless looking and so sad and lonely. But I don't know what I expect. She doesn't ever listen to me. If she stops drinking, she'll still be very lonely and sad, and just not have what seems to make her feel good, like it's gotten to the point where it's the only thing that makes her happy.
She's lived her life to cater to my dad and us and now that my dad is gone, and us two kids have grown up and have our own families, she doesn't seem to want to live anymore.
It does make me really sad.
I'll pray for you as well, thank you.
