Tay,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. This is certainly a very emotional time for you. Try to stay strong for both you and the baby.

you and your family are in my prayers. hang in there... as much as it may seem impossible, you'll make it through this and you'll be able to share how you stayed sober with other folks down the road.

much love.

I know in my case, I was so busy covering up my emotional pain with alcohol that I was totally oblivious to the pain I was causing others. I feel so sorry for you and your mom. I'm sure she had no idea the position she was putting you in. A very sad story.

Take care of yourself and concentrate on the health of your baby. Easy to say with all that you still have to go through. Let other's do most of the managing--you stay involved but in the background.

much sympathy,
jane

I am sorry to hear that for you and mother. My prayers are with you. You wanting a drink is not unusual. It's a brain disease and early on it still has the same reaction to stress. Good luck.
