Smile Alcoholic Daughter

Hi Maylie, Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I have devoted most of my life to my daughter, its time for me now. I do feel selfish saying that. But what I mean is she consumes me when she is drinking. My parents are in their 80's and need me now. They have always been there for me so I will be there for them. I can't do anything else for my daughter except pray.

I have not talked to her since Saturday morning when she called me to pick her up from the hospital. She had spent the night there getting sober. I refused to go get her. It was hard saying no but I didn't run to her rescue. I have been out of my mind with worry not knowing where she was or if she was ok. But i did learn she was with her boyfriend. She was supposed to go into a wonderful rehab house on Sunday but didn't show. So, she knows how to get help. All she has to do is go.

Thanks again, Jean
