First of all its these things that are a test of your strength however you have said "I always had a problem with alcohol so every time she did something awful to me, I'd get drunk, react ridiculously and strengthen my position as the family lunatic." but now "I'm not that person anymore... something that most people are starting to see. " That's the bit to focus on. You're not that person anymore so now you need to get a strategy together for dealing with these things now you're not that person anymore. My advice would be to sit down and write down how all this has made you feel. Write it all down. How you are dealing with things now, how great you feel, how this drama she is creating is of her own imagination and you are not subscribing to it anymore. Ask why she feels the need to create these stories about you. And then I would go, with my script in hand, take a deep breath and read it to her. See what she says and if she has any explanation. Until then I perhaps dont think you can decide one way or another what you decide to do next.

After my father died 3 years ago I realized how toxic and narcissistic my mother was. I went into counselling and as a consequence have no contact with my mother now. Im 52. My sister still has contact with my mother but she has told me that mum never liked me. This has all crawled out of the woodwork in the last 3 years. You never know but your sister may have some issues too that she is hiding from you. Perhaps your wonderful sobriety and strength is making her feel vulnerable and inadequate. Perhaps the way she is making you feel is actually a mirror of the way she is feeling and for her to deflect it to you removes the spotlight from herself. Without wishing to be rude I wonder if its not really about you but she makes out its that way and now you can see it for what it is. Before you gave her a reason to justify it. Now I am writing a novel! :headbange

5:45am in Alberta, today is going to be a darn good day not to drink!

24 more please, and thanks....

Just listened to a play on BBC Radio 4 called The Red.

Rufus Jones and David Calder star in Marcus Brigstocke's first drama for radio.

Benedict has been sober for 25 years. On the day of his father's funeral, he learns he has left him an unsettling final request. Benedict's father loved wine. He collected it and found sharing it with his friends and family an act of love and joy. But his son is an alcoholic. We witness how this has affected both their lives and their relationship in this drama based on Marcus Brigstocke's own experience of recovery.

The play was recorded on location in a 400 year old wine cellar.

Rufus Jones is best known as a comedy actor with starring roles in television comedies including W1A, Hunderby and Camping.

David Calder has had many leading parts on stage including the National Theatre and RSC, and television.
