But don't make her hold you accountable. Because then what happens if you slip and drink again? She's going to think it's her fault that she couldn't stop you. She won't understand.
No, please. Use us if you want accountability. Let your daughter be part of your plan, but please don't make her be your parole officer, so to speak.
I hope that didn't sound harsh - I didn't mean it to.
OH Thats very true! Thank you.
Maybe I will just tell her like you said I want to be a great mom & please come to me if there is something bothering you, or things we can ever do different.
THANK YOU, I really hadn't thought of putting pressure on her.
So glad you have your Smart hat on tonight!
