Kinda mom related. I found out my mom had gotten a DUI a month ago. She hasn't said anything to me. My mom someone got it dropped to a misdemeanor. My mom is an alcoholic and for years we've tried to help her stop. She's been an alcoholic for about 4-5 years now. Ever since my grandpa had died. Monday my brother and I are going to try and give her an intervention. Has anyone been through something like this? What did you do to help. She used to go to AA meeting but doesn't anymore. She's stubborn.
I hate my generation sometimes ?
Today was my nieces baby shower, which went great. She got so much which amazing since she's been working 2 jobs trying to save up for the unpaid leave she'll have to take from work. Anyways I was talking to one of the ladies there since my son and her daughter were playing together. I asked her what her daughters name was, she said it was Layla. I told her that's a really pretty name and asked her if she was a Clapton fan and if she was named after the song. Th...
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
my mom died this morning. She lived with me. this morning she woke up and went to the bathroom. i was on zoom and i heard a bang. she died in the bathroom. i wasn’t able to open the door or help her. she’s had health issues but this was unexpected. my kids were at home, i had someone come get them. i had to stay in the house with her body until the funeral home came to get her. idk how to tell my kids. they loved her sooooo much. i don’t know how to be at home. i’m just so lost. she was all i ha...
I am a recovering alcoholic and I can tell you that the best thing for you to do to help her is take her to AA. Make sure you find a good home group and go as often as you can once, twice, or three times a day. Encourage her to talk. Try to help her see the similarities and not the differences. Some times it helps knowing that youre not alone and finding a group of people you can relate to who are there for you and care about seeing you stay sober. That is number one in getting and staying sober. Its a lifestyle change as well. Friends and family members who drink need to be cut out of the alcoholics life. They need to develop new hobbies that revolve around having fun while sober with people who are sober. If you have any questions to help you understand what she is going through or anything at all you can message me and ill do my best to help you. Prayers
