She might have a boundary setting discussion with you. Which would be upsetting, certainly, but not all that horrible.
If she does ask that you stop doing it, what steps do you think you could take to make it more difficult to call her when impaired? Is her number on speed dial?
Beating yourself up over things that are in the past isn't that useful. You regret doing it. And you can make different choices in the future.
Isn't that what you tell your kids? It applies to moms as well.
I hate to ask this, but are your kids safe and is someone looking after them when you are in a state to be doing things you do not recall? I hear how embarrassed you are, and that's never pleasant, but rude texts didn't cause any harm to anyone. I would hate for you to feel greater regrets should your kids need you. Perhaps you should call your pdoc and beg for some medications that might help before your appointment.
