Daughter’s Friend’s Mom Is an Alcoholic?
Question by Brightlight: daughter’s friend’s mom is an alcoholic?
My other mom friends have gossipped about this other mom saying “I like her daughter, but her mom is an alcoholic, if you watch her daughter for a few hours, count on watching her for 12.” I have witnessed this myself. So the other mothers are distancing their children from the alcoholic’s daugher.
My grandmother was a chronic alcoholic for years. My mother is still quietly suffering emotionally from growing up with a mother who was neglectful. As a result, my mother doesn’t touch alcohol and has grown-up to be a productive member of society and she was a very caring if not overprotective mom.
I asked my mom if I should risk losing my gossipy “mom friends” to help this little girl…and let her play at my house with my daughter for the 12 hours just to help HER as the daughter of an alcoholic. My mother said as she got older she became aware of not being able to bring friends home and all she wanted was a best friend, a mother-type who showed she cared for her.What’d you do?
