my mother has been a drunk most of her life. as kids growing up me and my sister often had to put her to bed, clean the house, hide the bottles, pretend to friends that we couldn't play because she was at home smashed etc.
Now she is nearly 70 and a widow...she's still getting pissed as a rat most days! she gets so bombed she falls over, and we have to go over and sort her out. she refuses to have any outside help, move house nearer to us, wash, clean, eat properly etc, she swears like a trooper, smokes 80 a day... she's totally hideous and nasty tempered and reclusive...but, we just keep on helping her,we can't disown her....getting so sick of it...we actually hoped she would die when she last fell over and now we feel so guilty...is this normal, does any one else have experience of an Alcoholic mother or granny ?
She'll only drag you down,if she hasnt done so already.
ps. shes totally bombed thuneet medouk.
