Hi well now you know you’re not alone too! It’s so hard, I have no idea what I can do, but I actually sold my house and moved to be near them to try and help out.
I don’t want to interfere. I think I’m already viewed as someone who has found out her guilty secret. She ruins everything, even her own sons birthday, anything we try and do.
I am close enough that sometimes my son and grandson just come to me and stay overnight because he can’t stand it. And then he has to go to work.
I look after the little boy one day a week but I have no idea what she does on that day. It is supposed to be so she can go to alcohol support but I think she went once.
I think things need to come to a head.
This weekend it was my youngest sons 18th birthday. Of course it was alcohol free. But she managed to find the bottle of rum we had in the house and secretly drank it (we found the bottle after) and did the usual drama and storming off thing.
Spoiling my other sons birthday!! I am now pretty cross with her!!! Xx
