I had made a trip up north to visit my kids and my daughterinlaw got mad at me over something I said. She bascially said I was trying to say I had a worse childhood than hers. Anyway we settled it and I cAME HOME WE fRIDAY i WAs worrieds aboutit and did something I should not have. I had 2 beers and a small bottle of wine. My daughter called me during this time and I don't remember what I said to her. She would have been very upset if she knew I was drinking. But I don't know if she does since I can not remember. I am afraid to call her in case she is mad. All I do is worry about this and it is mAKING MY DEPRESSION WORSE. wHAT CAN i DO

Well, she loves you, Shery, and she'll call back if she feels that you were a little
"tipsy" when she called.

I wouldn't try to call her about it; just let it slide and know that all is well
that ends well.

Then, too, you need to keep an eagle's eye on that drinking. It will drag you
down like nothing else can, and it takes time to get it out of your system.
Start drinking water, please, and keep it up until you have better feeling tone.

Remember that alcohol just makes a problem worse and that anyone who
has an intense craving for it should leave it alone, completely. It can get
to be a habit for handling any problems, and that's when one can become
dependent.

Stay with your medications; if you need temporary help to improve feeling
tone, talk to your psychiatrist, but don't drink, please.

Take care, Shery.

Everyone is here for you and we all understand family problems.

Do you have an AA group you meet with. I go see them and talk about this experience. Being with people who understand you may take some of the fear and other bad feelings out of your system. Then it might be easier to talk to your daughter. You can tell her you've taken steps to be stronger. Maybe then she can accept you more easily.
I hope you feel better soon
