Hi mb8,

Thank you for your reply, I do really appreciate it

I am sorry you are going through the same thing with your dad, I really hope that things do get better for your dad and you after his hospital stay

It’s the hardest thing I have ever been through and all I think constantly is that I’d never put my children through what she puts me through but then I have to remember it’s an addiction and it’s not as easy for her as I word it but I do hope she gets some help before it’s too late.

We recently lost a family member suddenly due to this virus and all I think and say is that they lost their life tragically and my mum is choosing to kill herself and ruin her life, but as I say, she listens for a week before things go back to normal

Although it’s a horrible situation, it’s reassuring to know there is other people going through the same. Thanks again for your reply, I really hope things improve for you and your dad takes this chance to change

Hi

Thank you so much for your reply,

Yes that’s the thing, she stops and things are amazing, she looks so healthy and we all get on great but that does not last long and the drink creeps back in.

When I say she is an alcoholic, she still goes to work and holds a job, we go the gym together and things but the drinking is at evenings and weekends, once the drinking starts, it does not stop as it does not seem to come out of her system. I’m sure it won’t be long before she does not have a job

That sounds like a great idea, I love walking so I am always out with the dog just getting some space and air. I tend not to talk to my friends about it too much because I feel embarrassed and feel like I have been saying the same things for years.

It’s so hard because her friend died a few years ago after suffering a seizure through being an alcoholic and I thought things would change and that would make her realise but nothing seems to work.
