[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 403354, member: 59"] It wasn't at my house, it was my dad's apartment. If it had been my house I would have asked her to take the alcohol out or leave. And she wasn't drinking, she brought the alcohol for her daughter and fiance and her son and his girlfriend. I don't know why it was so important that they drink, we were only there about 2 1/2 hours and they were going home and could drink all they wanted. When I asked that they not drink in front of difficult child I told her if she really wanted to drink she should tell us and we wouldn't go because I didn't want to put any of us in that uncomfortable position. She claims that since difficult child relapsed shortly before christmas she didn't think she had to honor my request. It was not up to her to decide. It hurt me a great deal but was only the straw the broke the camel's back after several other hurtful things she has done and said over the past few months. It is a shame Fran because I do feel that at this point in our lives we should be a support and friend to each other, but she has never really been supportive. I look back and realize that being raised in a dysfunctional family leaves a legacy of pain. Nancy [/QUOTE]
