[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 667948, member: 19522"] Hi Origami, sorry for your troubles. All too familiar with sharing reality show stories with my co-workers whose children are doing perfectly well, thank you! 21 is really young, and a senior in college! BRAVO! I hope that she has learned from this incident, alcohol is so dangerous when over done. Acute alcohol ingestion- a dear friend lost his niece to this, she passed out and no one bothered to check on her. She died of alcohol poisoning. She hadn't even graduated high school. Been down the road a piece with my adult children drinking and partying. Some folks get happy, silly, crazy when they are drunk, others can get down right mean and nasty. Please don't be so hard on yourself, I am sure you are not delusional about being a good mom. We can only give so much of ourselves, and the rest is up to our adult children to make good choices. The "You were a terrible mother" road is one our difficult children would have us stay on, because it keeps us in guilt ridden enabler mode. Feel what you feel, pity party and all. We need to go through our own steps to process this junk especially with a 3 am distress call. Please take care of yourself, prayers for you and family. Hugs [/QUOTE]
