Traci, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. It sounds like you have had more than your share of grief this year. I am also sorry to hear about your mom. My mom is a dry drunk but I remember very clearly what life what like when she was drinking. Do you have siblings that can take some of the load off of you? Any other family? I don't

If this was a real life it would have come with instructions.
Thank you all for your hugs and comforting words.
I can't begin to express how much love and help my home alanon meeting has given me, and some weeks I attend a second one too, so please, if you found comfort and help in alanon before, return and get some new serenity. And if you love to read, order some of their books online so you have it available to you inbetween meeting time.
Take care, hugs, Josie.
When I read your title I understood this topic completely, I am a fellow soul that has walked and is still walking down the path you are taking. My dad died ten years ago just 9 months after I gave birth to my youngest son, my mother never had a well day after that, 1 hip replacement, 2 knee replacements, heart problems, compression fracture of back, I have raised my baby in doctor waiting rooms, rehab centers and hospital rooms, I have worn two cars out taking care of things for her, and she now has lung cancer and her care became too much to handle and we placed her in a nursing home 5 miles from my home and she still thinks I should be on 24 hour notice for her needs and never lets me forget that other children are better to their mothers and that they wouldn't let their mother's be in a nursing home. The resentment I feel is overwhelming and the feelings of guilt that this decision had to be made. I also have a grown son on drugs and he has made my life h*ll. They are sucking the life out of me. I have such a love/hate relationship with them
I understand "I've given all I can.............."
There is no solutions to this all I have been able to do is one day at a time, I can't think one week ahead and I have made me a make believe world that I go to from time to time, I go to the computer and go to real estate sites far away from my home state and look at the homes, towns and schools there a think about the life I could be living if I could move there away from my mother and son and how wonderful it would be to have some peace in my life. It helps me.
You have a understanding friend in me.
God Bless.
