Thank you for your post. My children are 11 and 13. I will have 2 years sober in March. I also grew up with an alcoholic mother who still drinks. My contact with her is limited due to her drinking. Your post reminds me of why I need to stay sober. I don't want your story to be the story my girls tell one day. I hope your mom finds sobriety again soon. You sound like an amazing young woman. Please don't allow your mom's struggles to become yours. Take care of yourself first. Good luck and thanks for reminding me why I choose to be sober.
