I have a great-niece who is 25 and is struggling with alcoholism. She is not a difficult child, she lives on her own out of state and is owning and working on conquering her addiction. Her one year sobriety date is New Year's Eve and I would like to send her a card with some words of support.
I am at a loss as to what to say, though. I've not talked with her about this directly .. she's in town so rarely and due to crazy sister (her grandmother) drama on Christmas, my time in talking with her was limited. From what her mom says, she's very open about it.
I plan to keep it sort and sweet ... from those of you who have dealt with this with your difficult children ...or with anyone ... do you have any words of wisdom or advice as to what to say? what not to say?
I don't want this milestone to pass unacknowledged, yet I'm not sure how to begin..
