ScaryTime

insisted on driving my mother home after she drank too much and now she isn’t talking to me... <sigh>
she called me later that night and told me she was done with me... I feel like crap about trying to do the right thing. She is very co dependent and my addict brother is living with her now and she refuses to speak to him.
Uh boy! This is a bomb that is going to go off...and I fear the fallout is not going to be pretty! Ugh!

Hi ScaryTime!

Well, driving for someone who has had too much to drink is never the "wrong" thing to do. Ever. Her anger is hers to deal with, and it is not a rational reflection of you. Please don't feel bad!!

And as far as her relationship with your addicted brother...well, that's their relationship and they will have to deal with it between them, right? You can't fix that for them any more than you can stop either of them from drinking.

It's kind of freeing, really...the 3 Cs!

Sorry she reacted that way. You absolutely did the right thing and have nothing to feel crap about.

Maybe when she comes around she will realise her anger is misplaced?

Hey it gave you peace of mind that you got yo mama home. She was just lashing out cause her guilt or whatnot. Deep down I know she is greatful and she loves you. Dont take it to heart. Shes sick and only she can fix it. Btw? What does the three c stand for? Keep coming back

Don't ever question your own sound decisions. Driving someone home while they are intoxicated and cannot drive themselves is never wrong.

Big hugs.

Hi SR - it stands for - you didn't Cause it, can't Control it, can't Cure it.

You kept her and countless others safe.

That is not wrong.
