gigi3126 I'm so glad that you and Jude had a nice visit with your mom. Hopefully she will remain present in your life and not make the same mistakes of her past. I know some things are hard to get past. My dad made some terrible mistakes that to me are unforgivable. He will never meet O.
gigi3126 I'm glad the meeting went well. Watching family suffer through an addiction is tough. I think the suffering part hits all involved. My dad maintained a normal, addiction free life until he hit one hell of a midlife crisis. He's been up and down with alcohol ever since.
It's really hard, particularly because there isn't really anything you can do about it until/unless they ask for help. While it's comforting to know that I'm not the only person dealing with this, it's also really sad. I think it's part of the reason that I've never been a big drinker. Like, I'll have a glass of wine or something every now and then, but I really don't do it often.

I'm so sorry. It's hard to make that decision, but sometimes it's for the best. Hugs

gigi3126 so glad for you, your mom and your LO that your day together went well. All the hopes that she remains in good health and that your relationship can continue to grow together. Hugs amd hope and health to everyone with family members in recovery or dealing with addiction of any kind. It is what weighs heaviest on my heart right now.

Hugs to gigi3126 and everyone else affected by a loved one struggling with alcoholism. It certainly is a nasty disease. budders, dance parties are probably our favorite activity. I may have to add that song to our playlist now
gigi3126, hugs! I'm so sorry you've had to deal with this, but glad today went well. I hope it's a sign of great things to come for your family and I hope your mom continues to do well. budders, favourite song of all time! Need to dance with my LO more often.
I think LO has his first cold, either that or maybe these two first teeth will FINALLY come through. Low grade fever, some snot but he's still a pretty happy little dude. Crashed pretty early tonight. I left his humidifier on so I'm hoping the room isn't a swimming pool by tomorrow.
budders, dancing with baby is the best! Any time some oldies come on Pandora, I stop what I'm doing to sing and dance around with E. We do lots of dips but I need to try a lift with him now.
