Hi all,
Thank you all so much for your responses.
You are so right when you mention that I need to look after myself and not get too upset. I am married with a 10mth old daughter and that is where I need to focus my energy.
I know I wouldn't be able to stop my mum drinking and especially that she lives on her own and does not have that daily support around to encourage her.
The funny thing is that when I spoke to my sister not long ago about it all - she sat there nodding her head to everything I was saying....so now I know I am not the only one feeling like this.
It is jsut so so sad.......
Thanks for listening.
Alton
