Alcoholism is an illness with consequences

My Mom was an alcoholic.

She was very distrusting. It lead to her selling our home, that my Dad bought, to someone she drank with. She did this so she could move 2 blocks from her fave bar.

She had an aneurysm because of drinking so much. It did not kill her, but she spent the remaining 20 years of her life in a wheelchair; unable to drink, or smoke…and she was miserable.

She lost all of her friends, they where alcoholics too, because she could not drink, and these people could not face there own mortality.

I have 2 kids and one grand, and we live in rental apartments. I wish almost every day that we still owned the house on the hill. It really sucks that alcohol was more important than me and her grands.

I love her, and have forgiven her, because I honestly do not believe she knew what she was doing; because of her alcoholism, she was eager to please her “friends”.
