[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 82002, member: 2389"] Susan I want to share something with you, I talked with my mom today and she shared an update on my cousin. My cousin is 43 yrs old. She is an alcoholic that has lost rights to both her children. She gets in unhealthy relationships, they turn violent, and she returns home to mom and dad. She has done that all her life. She has never had a reason to stop because in the back of her mind she could always run home regardless of what troubles she got into. The sad part is she has worn her mom down so much over the years that she will actually buy her alcohol because she believes she needs it to function. When they leave her at home to make doctor appointments they will buy her alcohol so they know she will stay home out of trouble and she will be content not to contact whoever the last abusive boyfriend was. This is the saddest situation I could imagine. The mom is allowing the drunk to stay drunk......Because it is the easiest way to deal with it.. Confronting a problem is always hard, but reaping the blessings of doing the right thing is inmeasurable. Traci [/QUOTE]
