Yeah - alcohol can cause so much pain.
Hopefully your Mom won't remember the things you say that you're upset about if she's that drunk.
Al-Anon meetings are for folks who have alcoholics in their family. I haven't gone for years, but at one time found them VERY supportive & helpful. I went 'cuz my son was using drugs other than alcohol, but the issues were the same.
They help YOU cope. If you think you might like to try one, your local hospital could probably link you up with one, or Mental Health organization, or Google it. If that doesn't work & you want to pursue it, please ask me here for help.My thoughts are with you. My Dad was an alcoholic. My life wasn't that bad, but I DO know what a huge impact it can have on one's life.
hugs, Kath
