Question by Sugwar: How should I confront my mom about her alcoholism?

Best answer:

Answer by Casey
Yes! You can probably expect one of two reactions:

#1. “Dont tell me what to do with my life…you arent perfect either…etc” or
#2. “I feel so guilty….I just cant handle the pain I have caused…I am a bad mother….I feel like having another drink to ease the pain.”

Both responses are normal, please try to get past her addiction talking and get to a place where you are honestly discussing the issue with your Mother (not with her addiction).

Be open and loving, tell her how you feel- honestly.
