Hi alone and confused,
I am the mother of the 39 yr old that is killing himself. I grew up with an alcoholic father and then husband. My sister and I used to find my father in the gutter and have to pick him up and bring him home for which all the neighbors saw us. It was terrible. I could not imagine my mother having that problem. Have you thought of getting your own apt? The advice that I have been getting is to get help for myself. Seeing that you will be working the long hours, and noone will be with her, maybe you should think of your salvation. I know it sounds selfish, but I think it is probably the only answer. If I had to live with my son, I would be crazy. I get crazy when his wife calls me and tells me what he is doing. I am going to try a couple of alanon meetings and maybe that might be the answer for you. Let me know if I can be of any help.
