Kiki- thanks for writing that post about how on the surface to others you looked like Mary Poppins (lol) but really underneath it all was the real story that you shared. That helps me a lot, because that is probably how I seemed to be to others. I always wondered/wonder, are there others that I know, who seem to be Mother Of The Year but are hiding alcohol abuse as well. I just wanted to feel less alone. Luckily SR helped me with that.
