I only recently found out my daughter was alcoholic. I thought she was just immature, mean, selfish, and maybe narcissitic. I have no other grandkids and was surrogate mom to this grandkid.
The family is not doing well, as a unit. His mom is not speaking to one of his aunts and it is causing a chasm in the family. There is one other unit (his aunt and uncle) who are very stable and helpful, but for the most part, it feels dysfunctional and unhealthy.
I just never knew this was even a possibility. And the thinking that goes along with it is mind-boggling. He is young, so his thinking is immature anyway and then add the alcoholism into the mix and seems kinda crazy.
I am just sick over all of it and can't shake bad feelings. I can't feel God or my higher power working in my life, though I do have many blessings - weird that I just can't appreciate much of anything on a feeling level (intellectually, yes).
