My Mother

My mom is an alcholoic. She has been to rehab twice and she does good for a while but so far this year she has been in the hospital with pancreatitis twice. She refuses to go to rehab again. She says she can do it on her on but she obviously can't. She is 63. I am at such a loss of what to do. She keeps telling me I don't understand. Any advice?

I know how you feel. I watched my own mother commit a slow suicide with the bottle knowing there was nothing I could do about it.
You can't force your mom to use the tools she was taught in rehab to stay sober. She has to be willing.

All you can do is take care of yourself. I highly recommend alanon meetings for you. You can learn alot more from others who are in your situation, then you can from us here.

We will keep you and your mom in our thoughts and prayers.

God Bless

Thank you so much. I will look that up. I had to force her to go to the hospital today. She said she just wanted to lay in bed and die. It's so hard to watch. She isn't even a bad mom. She has been a wonderful mom. I don't want to watch her kill herself.
