Sometimes the ultimatum pushes people to get help, but sometimes, addiction wins and they lose everything, including their lives. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083832040968229848.post-22388308875835325922012-09-03T21:47:58.798-04:002012-09-03T21:47:58.798-04:00Thanks for the support Amanda!Thanks for the support Amanda!Emily @ablanket2keephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398858102692984237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083832040968229848.post-59756672161153550672012-09-03T21:47:31.296-04:002012-09-03T21:47:31.296-04:00Thanks Sarah!

It's never fun dealing with an alcoholic, but it has to be especially bad when it's someone you love. I'll be thinking of you and hoping that your conversation with her brings her to her senses.

Alcoholism is such a cruel disease and it hurts loved ones as much as it hurts the addict! I think you and your family are doing the right thing... As hard as it is to cut ties with someone you love when they are so sick. But to do otherwise is almost worse, as it can be enabling. I truly hope, for your sake and your babies sakes (and all of your fsmily) that Nana F makes the right decision and gets the help she needs.

I hope this is a big step towards healing. And I completely support your decision to basically give your Nana F an ultimatum. Sometimes the threat of losing those closest to you is what the person with the addiction needs. You are very smart to not want to have your children witness her destructive behavior. *hugs*samshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196929017759174547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8083832040968229848.post-47094450707180817112012-08-31T10:48:27.701-04:002012-08-31T10:48:27.701-04:00What a chaotic, traumatic experience :( You are r...What a chaotic, traumatic experience :( You are right to protect yourself and your babies from the stress and emotional damage of this relationship.
