[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 410496, member: 1233"] Terry - husband and I have always joked that we cannot become drug addicts or alcoholics because there is no money left for those things after we buy books! Flutter, I also vote for CPS. I doubt telling her will change her much. The diff between easy child and difficult child kids is this: when we learned my mother had an autoimmune liver disease and might need a liver transplant I had a talk with my bro about alcohol use. He was already an alcoholic but I was the only one who realized it. I said that we had better BOTH do all we can to keep our liver healthy because someday she will most likely need a transplant. If we are healthy then part of our liver can be removed and given to her. We will regrow that part and the part in her will also grow. He argued that it had nothing to do with alcohol (he is partly right - her cirrhosis is not alcohol related) so how much we drink doesn't matter. The fact that it would damage his liver, what he would want to donate to her, didn't matter. At the time I partied a little bit. I stopped for the most part because I was having too many other problems and alcohol was not good with medications. I stopped the rest of the alcohol intake because if there is a chance my mother can use my liver I want to do what I can to make sure it is in decent shape. He went out and stayed drunk for a week because I "upset him telling him my mother would need a transplant someday". My mom doesn't want to take a liver from either of us. Chances are her sister would be the best match, but my aunt is a raging alcoholic. Used to be if you called before 3 she was at least coherent. Now if you call after 9 am she isn't. Knowing she is hurting you won't stop your difficult child's behavior for long. Calling CPS for help, and/or telling her that she better think of where she wants to live because the next time she goes all difficult child on you she is oging to them might backfire. What if she chose someone you object to? There is likely a shelter where she could stay a few days. Cps can also arrange temporary or longer term foster care.It may actually be a good thing for her. She thinks you are so awful, I am sure the fosters won't give her fancy vegan peta shampoos and milk. She will eat what everyone else does or she will be hungry until the next meal. It would be a good lesson for her to learn. You NEED a break for your health. We are all very worried for you and about you. I hope you can do what is needed to get that break - even if your kids tell you you are awful,or anyone else does. You won't help her much if you keep her at home and have a heart attack next week or month or year. She is oging to need a mom for a long time, so taking a break now and getting healthy will ensure that she has one for a much longer time. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{gentle hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} [/QUOTE]
