Then again words from a random stranger in a bar are one thing, and I'd like to *think* that I could dismiss them.
Which is why I avoid bars. I'm not sure that I always can, especially if she hears it and her feelings are hurt. I can't stand a sloppy drunk, nails on a chalkboard.
Sometimes the people you are related to are the most toxic people in your life. They think that because they are related to you they can get away with whatever they want due to the blood relationship. I don't subscribe to that at all. Anyone who is like that needs to be removed from your life. I haven't spoken to my own mother in 17 years and have no intent to ever again.
Again, I totally agree. I've been blessed with a family that is somewhat normal, my cousin had a bad stint with alcoholism, but other than stupid fights, he was never toxic. Well my Mom's side any way, my dad's family is here in SoCal, and I got ignored for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Yeah. In her situation, it's a pattern of learned behavior. Her mother, from what I hear, is now a 30pack of stones a night. She hasn't always downed a 30 pack a night, but she has been a big time drunk for as long ad I've known her, and was that way her whole life.
Trust me Aaron - I have my doubts, too. I've heard it all too many times. She's never gone the rehab route though. I've seen somewhere that meth addicts have something like a 17% chance to get and stay clean. That, coupled with it being forced, the odds are stacked against her. But for his sake, I wish her nothing but the best. That's a shitty life to live. And me taking him away has pushed her further in to the hole. It becomes a vicious cycle, obviously someone like that isn't thinking clearly.

Not cool at all bro. You're welcome anytime in our home for the holidays if you don't have somewhere to go. My wife makes a badass turkey! (She should, it's the only time of the year she actually cooks! lol)

Well maybe if you would relinquish some room in the kitchen........
