My mom just called, and she was drunk ... again.
I thought she was doing so well. But now that's all over. If she isn't drunk then she's high on pills. Now I am sitting here crying and my stomach is twisted in knots. I feel like I am going to throw up. I can't stop moving. Nothing is helping. My hands and feet are tingling. Why do things like this have to happen, especially when I thought she was doing so well. Now it has set me in a downward spiral. I'm so nervous, and still there's nothing I can do for my mother.

Just remember MP, it's not your fault "AT ALL". It is completely out of your control what your mom does. Please don't blame yourself and Take care of you right now. Jlove

That's so hard. My brother when he was an active alcoholic did that to me too; thought our parents were "mad" at him so called/relied on me instead. I was in therapy and fragile myself at the time and my parents were getting elderly and would call me for "news," etc. I understand so well the helplessness and discomfort.
Can you go out and "do something" with someone else/a friend? I found it was hardest being alone. Go grocery shopping or something? I was lucky, one of the worst nights my brother called me from across the country so it became "just" a logistics problem of clueing in our aunt who lived there to get/help him and get him back from San Francisco to the East Coast. Then my father was able to step in and get him to a treatment facility. Do you have a T or doctor you can call and see if they know of any resources that can help you?

Oh Mp,
I am truly sorry that your Mom is being this way. Apparently, the disease has a hold of her and she can't control it. This is not fair to you. She needs to think about your needs instead of her own. Is there anyone close you can talk to about this that will understand? You are making yourself sick from worry. Please don't blame yourself over this as this is your Mom's choice. I doubt there is anything you could do or say to change her. Sending you lots of hugs and hope things will look up for you soon. ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((MP))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Boops

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{MP}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Hon, like jlove said, it's not your fault. I't sjust natural to feel this way, but don't let it take over you.
One thing I've learn is that my mother issues/habits are not my issues/habits. She is still your mom, but try to calm down. PM me anytime~
