Tired of the cycle
How tired? Enough to move out of your comfort zone & create real change?
After reading both of your posts I have to say that if you're waiting on her to "get it" or to lead the family forward into Positive Change, you're probably going to be waiting for a while longer, watching life continue to disintegrate.
the last 12 months have been rough with several trips to detox and a couple of trips to rehab.
....most recent trip to rehab......she started drinking the night she got out which has resulted in her being in detox on suicide watch. She was admitted with a BAC of 0.37.
she was told she had a fatty liver
She can't account for her spending on alcohol or how much she drinks at a time.
Detox & rehabs aren't magic answers - nothing can create the internal desire for change required for recovery success.
This year has been rough on our 14YO .....It has had a negative impact on his grades and caused discipline issues at school
^This is where my focus would be - THIS is where your time is best-spent & best-used. She's a grown woman choosing to destroy her life - he's a minor child at a critical point in his life/development & he's dealing with this:
she cuts him down when she is drunk
This treatment has long lasting effects that can take him decades to deal with. How is that fair?
