There is PLENTY you can do about this, but it just doesn't include making
her decisions or controlling
her choices.
You CAN make
your choices and engineer your life for yourself - to be happy, healthy, free of daily chaos of alcoholism, etc. These choices are complex and difficult and often counter-intuitive at first, but there is PLENTY YOU CAN DO to improve your life and your kids' lives!
Alanon is a great place to learn the tools and perspectives. They do not tell you what to do or how to live, but they will give you perspectives and tools to use, when navigating this devastating, progressive, family disease.
Sending encouragement,
