This is where it's difficult. Up until she was diagnosed with cancer, she was my best friend. I lived in Europe then and she would come spend 2 or 3 weeks with me at a time. We traveled and had fun together. Sure, she was drinking at that time, but not to the extent she is now. I'm having a really hard time dealing with the person she has become in the past year. I don't want my kids to remember her this way. I don't like being around her anymore. I want my mother back.
