Welcome herdaughter......like you my mother was also an alcoholic and like you I wanted to keep that commandment. And you know how I did it???? I put 60 miles between us. And I only called her if I knew there was an emergency. It was hard indeed and now I am 51 and looking back on my life with her I know that that was all I could do. She passed away 2 yrs ago this month and I know she is in a better place......her pain is gone. Keep her in your prayers hunny and do what you must for YOU. And please remember the 3 C's ok.
You didnt cause it
You cant control it
You cant cure it
Take Care and please keep posting here we all have been there and done that......you have a new home.
