Going home...
Hi, I need a bit of advice / other peoples perspective.
A bit of background. My mum is an alcoholic and has been for probably quite a long time but it’s gotten really bad the last 5-9 Years. She’s lost her driving license and her job - my dad is trying to seperate from her as he simply can’t cope any more - the lies, the meanness, everything.
I live in England but all my family are in Ireland and I am traveling home next week for 1 day - I’m a daddy’s girl anyway and never really seen eye to eye with my mum, anytime I’m home or they come to visit she does something to ruin the visit - I see it as attention seeking if I’m honest.
Next week when I am home I really want a day just me and my dad, he needs it, I need it - but I’m so worried she will do something stupid if we say we are going out for the day and that I want it to be just my dad and me.
I am so sick of trying to play happy families but am I being selfish? Will she do something? Should I just suck it up?
Any opinion or experiences are very welcome.
