i watched intervention friday, and the lady on it reminded me of my stepmom..who is an alcoholic.
she has always told me that she wants me to get better from all of my issues..
and i decided it was time to tell her how i feel about hers.
i did it in a very nice way.
i told her i care about her and i want her to be able to live a happy life like she deserves, and that drinking will not do that for her.
that it will do nothing but destroy her in the end..and will not numb her from the guilt and pain that is unresolved.
i don't remember what all else i said..but it was along those lines..
just trying to tell her from my own perspective, that hurting ourselves, in order to get rid of pain, doesn't make things any better.
i'm not sure how she'll respond.
i just have gotten tired of her, all these years, telling me that i deserve a better life, when she won't even get help for herself.
and also, i added, that i'm sure she doesn't want another accident to happen (like one recently where she doesn't even remember).
so i'll see if she even responds..i hope she'll be open minded and open hearted about it.
she always is with other things..
i don't expect her to suddenly go out and get help..i just wanted her to know how i feel..since i've never told her.
