I only get along so well with my older sister now because we are in different countries, and I don't (have to) speak to her every day. I don't have to deal with her pretending not to be drunk when she says she isn't feeling well and has to lie down. I also don't have to deal with her getting angry with me for no reason because we always talk first thing in her morning, and she is sober.
I honestly have never known another closet alcoholic as sneaky as her; she has everyone, including all medical people, completely snowed.
And my younger sister, who disowned me, messed herself up with MDMA and acid at way, way too many festivals.
I know you know most of this, Aly, and I am just so sorry that you have to deal with the same sort of mess when your mom is so ill. As Leigh said, you are doing something wonderful here.
