hi letsgopens-

welcome.

around here, we talk about boundaries. this means for us to establish/figure out what our boundaries are with our alcoholics and then communicate them and enforce them.

this isn't about controlling our alcoholic, it's about protecting ourselves and our children from their choices.

do you know what your boundaries are?

obviously, her behavior is damaging to the children. go have a read over at the adult children of alcoholics (ACOA) forum if you want a glimpse into the long term emotional damage they have suffered.

well, there's lots to talk about. hope you keep posting. there is a wealth of experience collected here at SR. glad you found us.

and welcome!
