Stolen Dreams

My mum is an alcoholic. My dad left for years and she blames it on him. She said she will never stop and she doesn’t want help. Her eyes are beginning to turn yellow and she doesn’t eat. She speaks so disoriented. People have asked if she is mad. I’m the first child and I’m tired. I have told her people leave their partners and become better versions of themselves. She has chosen to become the worst version of herself. Everyday I live in panic and fear.

  1. then let her be. You have tried your best. When they were enjoying the good times, you weren’t there, why should you now? Everyone knows what they be doing but ensure to remind her you wouldn’t stop your life to take care of her when her kidney finally gives up. Always learn to choose yourself first and leave all those who wanna dwell in their past.
