Above all else, take good care of YOU. And remember this: you didn't cause it, you can't change her, and you can't cure it. She has to be the one wanting to change. If you can't live like this any more can you get out, at least for a while for your head to clear? Your leaving might be the wake up call she needs to hear, and it could give you some time away from the madness. But no matter what you do, her alcoholism is HER problem and SHE has to want to fix it.

Just like Dee, all the nagging and begging of my kids didn't mean a thing until I wanted to be sober for myself.

Please do check out the Friends and Family section. Lots of good strength and experience and hope there.
