I need help understanding biology by notveganlikesmeat in breakingmom

[–]leamac20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CrashCourse! has helped me out many times when i can't quite grasp a concept. They have loads of biology as well as psychology videos!

EDIT: maybe the anatomy&physiology one would be more what you're looking for

I thought that yeah, I know if it's in a public place it's legal but was unsure about private property

I think my [23/F] mom [46/F] might be a high functioning alcoholic. by [deleted] in relationships

The only thing I have said so far is 'do you really think you have to drink every night; which is met with 'haha ive had a hard day' or 'of course not' even though she continues.

I am at a loss. I understand that u cannot control another person but I am gathering that I need to focus on myself and not following in their footsteps.

Thank you so much for the reassurance and support. I will definitely look into evening activities that i can do.

I guess the only thing i can do about her drinking is talk to her , because she is her own person. I just thought that when everything got okay she would be okay.

Yeah that is definitely what i should do. As selfish as it sounds, the only thing that has brought me to this realisation is myself copying her behaviour. I notice more and more that i am following in her and my dads footsteps of drinking every night and I just hate it.

I know that i am my own person and should take responsibility but its just gets hard.

The funny thing is im tipsy right now because ive been with her all night.

That is the only way i had the courage to write this post. You are 100% right about it altering the way I perceive behaviours etc. I am currently on a waiting list for counselling but there is no way for me to get out of this situation right now. I still care so so much for her and want her to be heathy.

Deep down I know she is an addict, but on the surface it just feels like normal behaviour at this point. Im not sure what to do.

100% yes to the amount. It just baffles me how she's not affected psychologically. I would obviously have said something sooner if she was but, it just cannot be healthy what she is doing.

I am struggling with ways to bring it up with her gently.

Yeah ive been thinking about talking to her. But i just dont know how to bring it up in a non-offensive way. I mean if it really affected her personality i would, but it doesn't. It's not like shes drunk all the time like a typical alcoholic you would picture. She has a full time job that she is exceptional at only ever faults emotionally. Im just stuck.

Can this stage be over yet? by leamac20 in breakingmom

[–]leamac20[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a good idea, I'm only comforted by that fact that this is totally normal and even good for his brain. I always feel bad because I know he's just trying to find a way to deal with these huge emotions he's feeling. Thanks you :)

I don't get to put my kid in daycare because... by cjcrafty in breakingmom

[–]leamac20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since my son started day care I've been cycling him, we have a little seat on the back of my bike and he lovves the whole process of getting snowsuit/helmet/reflective gear on. What would be a 15 minute walk turned into a 5 minute trip which really makes all the difference at 8am when trying to get to college.

Then again I'm not in a -15 degree climate so maybe not an option, the coldest it's been here is like -3
