I don’t hate my Mum anymore, I’m over the anger, I think what prevails is an overwhelming sense of sadness.
My sister and I have been the children of an alcoholic since we can remember.
I stood in silence next to her bed, experiencing a succession of emotions. Disappointment. Anger. Rejection.
No one has to suffer alone.
My mother always drank but since we had never known anything different we never considered her an alcoholic.
I cannot accept your drinking any more, but live in the hope that you will stop.
Hopefully you will read and possibly reread what I have put down.
I hope mum, that you won’t be angry or upset with me sharing this.
It is with the help of your insightful website and lots of tears that made me know myself a little more before it was too late.
If it’s only a tiny flicker, it is there and we can find something good in the most awful of happenings.
