The past few months have been rough.
We've all known for years, but recently we've no longer been able to ignore the fact that Grandma's an alcoholic. I'm stuck between my father's request to try to support her because I'm one of her few friends left, my anger how her drug abuse has hurt my life, fear that she still needs to get worse before she'll get better, and saddness that this disease will continue to damage her life and isolate her from my daughter, my partner and I.
Selfishly I'm really upset that the shite has hit the fan right when things were so beautiful in my life... that her actions have distracted me from my family's joy.
anybody else with alcoholic parents who wont accept help or treatment? anybody else feel their babies are more mature than their parents?
