Dear Milly,
I lost my mother at the age of 53 due to alcoholism. She was a beautiful mother, caring, loving even despite her addiction. It’s a vicious Illness. I hope your daughter seeks the correct help and goes down the right path, I know it can be done and have friends who have been sober for over 13 years and turned their lives around from the age of 31. Try not to get angry I know it’s hard. It’s not your fault and it isn’t hers either.
Circumstances have led her to alcohol and in todays society with it being everywhere did she even have a chance? God bless to you, her and her little boy. I pray for her to find a way out.
