Do you have a Medical Home Health Service in your area?
they usually have in house counselors and nurses that have
seen your mothers problem before and can help. Sometimes
help from an outside source like this does wonders, especially if the nurse is extremely caring. Your mother is
old enough she qualifies for services. I'm not talking about a nursing facility, these people will come into her
home and work with her. Just a thought from someone who's
been there several times with several different members
of my family. Usually these people know who is in your area
that are the best to contact to help her.
Lots of prayers to you, don't burn yourself out. I've seen lots of that. Don't beat yourself up you did not do
this to her.
From
Someone who's been there.

I'm so sorry Janey, addiction is an awful thing to have to deal with but the others are right, you should not feel guilty. Until your mom realizes she has a problem and wants to do something about it, there isn't much you can do. Hugs!

Well, I'd be lying if I said I were totally okay with all the things that have happened in my life. I'm still working on it. But I have a wonderful husband to help me through it and as time goes on, the better it gets. I'm also very lucky to have fantastic in-laws. My MIL has gone through similar things and my FIL was a minister for a long time. Between the two of them, they've heard or seen it all.

It's good that you're sister and yourself had each other. I learned very young that I could only count on myself. I have to remind myself that my husband really can help me with things I can't do myself. It's a hard lesson to unlearn. I've often wondered about the type of relationship my kids will have with my parents. My husband and I have decided that we don't won't want our children to know my father. He's just too mean and negative. My mother we are still undecided on. She's trying so hard now. But we have time. We probably won't have kids for a couple more years.
