      Iv been in the same situation but different circumstances. I know its hard but ur mum has to realise she can’t rely on alcohol my mums been a alcoholic since i was a baby and although we don’t live together we still keep in contact, and now after being her carer for years shes pulling herself together slowly. Best thing for u is to just tell her ul be there for her and in time she will come round. In the meantime although its hard just concentrate on ur life. Shes maybe isolating herself in a way to protect u from seeing her upset and drinking, one day she will have a wake up call and it will be horrible for her. Its good uv expressed ur feelings best thing is to be honest to a alcoholic. i hope this is some help to u feel free to email me if u ever want to talk i can totally empathise what ur feeling and going through

        Hi Mrs M….you don’t have to turn your back…..it’s hard watching family members destroy thrmselves….please stop enabling him though, something I learned after constsntly trying to bail my son out..I will not be part of the problem…because whilst your paying his bills he can still do drugs….take some time out for you and family, come to some agreement where you all stick to doing the same thing regarding your brother….I got the whole fsmily involved and told them not to give him money at all..not to give him a bed when he was high….bloody hard, but he knows the ground rules…..hugs and love to you …take care xxx
