How Do Adults Deal With an Alcoholic Parent?

Question by eventplannerfl: How do adults deal with an alcoholic parent?
I am 23 years old and live 1,500 miles away from my mother, who is an alcoholic. She just spent Christmas with me and drank every night while she was with me. She would get verbally vicious and act very outlandish. The next morning she would not remember what she said or did. I am worried about her and do not know what to do. Thanks!

Maybe tell her alcohol is no way to get rid of problems or an escape from the real world. Once the fuzziness is gone from your drunked state, the pain and issues of life always come back too. Take it from someone who knows, this is no way for either of you to live. I say either because your her family, do what’s right even if the cost are high. She will forgive herself, if you forgive her.
good luck,
TF
