[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 720353, member: 15032"] Welcome I agree with the others' advice. You have to stop enabling her or she will continue to drink. I know that you don't mean to but we all do it and it just "enables" them to not grow up, accept responsibility for their choices/life and get help for their addictions. We cannot fix our children. When I finally realized that, it helped me tremendously. A good therapist will help you create healthy boundaries for her. If she doesn't get help then she should not be allowed to live in your home. YOU deserve happiness and peace. Your younger son should not have to live in this dysfunction either. Our home is our shelter from the storm and should not BE the storm. I remember not wanting to come home after work because I didn't want to deal with our son. He wouldn't change so WE had to. Nothing changes if nothing changes. I didn't want to love my son to death. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
