My mom did everything for my baby shower . I helped , but she payed for everything . I told my family I wanted absolutely NO drinking , before or during my Babyshower, because my family consists of alcoholics . My mom was drunk. & we got into a fight before it started . She told me that I'm ungrateful & for me to enjoy the 500$ baby shower . I feel like shit because I would of loved my mom there . But she was drinking . Broke the only rule I had .
@orphanpuppy, my moms the greatest person when she's sober , she can be sober for work . So why on this day did she do that.@kenitra I'm 17. My grandma & my mom are both alcoholics . My grandma has guardian ship of me. & I could never kick my mom out my life. Like I said, when she's sober , she's my best friend .
I come from a large family of alcoholics and I have learned to either cut them out of my life or say "If you drink or act out you will be uninvited and not slowed to come around again". And I mean it!
@neeshadanielle, sit down with her later when she sober or half ass sober and ask her why she did and let her know you didn't intend for her not attend the shower but you were hurt and didn't want to have her around everyone like that.
@orphanpuppy, it's just so upsetting because she was just as excited as I was . Just as excited about my son as I am . & that's why I don't understand. Plus it hurts seeing my mom hurt & I know this is killing her . I just feel like shit .
You have to do what's best for you, but as time passed and I got older, I realized it was worse for me to continue dealing with it. My mom has periods of being bad but I have made it clear to her that she won't see her grandchild if it happens again. I will never put my kids through what I had to deal with. I hope it all works out for you!
