The relationship between mom and daughter is a difficult one. I got lots of mommy issues. And I notice how I am turning to be just like her.
I wish you all the best in your recovery skipper, its sad how our parents can't see things... I am learning this with my dad... accepting parents as they are is a tough one.
My parents quack a lot, and I see a great distance between what they say and what they do.
And they are not even addicts to any substance but both are raging codependents.
I wish I had wisdom to offer..
Take care!
