Hi, thanks.
My children are 17 and younger. I was very frank with them on Mother's Day, concerning their grandmother and alcoholism and the problems with alcohol on both sides of the family. (such a fun thing to do on my Mother's Day -ha!)
My parents are classic narcissists, so anytime I broach the subject of alcohol abuse in our family, it is always somehow turned against me. My husband and I no longer consume alcohol with them, so to say things have become uncomfortable, is a huge understatement. For the first time in my life, I have become the "bad kid", instead of my rebel sister. LOL (btw, I am in my early 40s)
