Hello Aimee,
Welcome to SR! I'm glad you found us, but very sorry for the reason why...
Yep, I've found that if I try to have a conversation with someone who has been drinking, they rarely remember the conversation the next day.
I'm so sorry for the childhood you have had with your mother. You deserved a better one, and your mum deserved a better life than she gave herself by drinking.
I can't tell you the number of times I have wanted to just shake someone I love and yell at them "Don't you see what you are doing to your life?!" The sad truth that I had to face is that no matter how many conversations I have with an active alcoholic--they just aren't going to quit until they are ready to do so.
Please stick around and read all you can here about alcoholism and addiction. If and when you feel comfortable doing so, you may want to introduce yourself in our Adult Children of Addicted/Alcoholic Parents forum, too.
