I Am Concerned

Now, I grew up into an abusive (physically, mentally, verbally) home until I was about to turn 14 and as rescued by my dad and sent to Florida from colorado. It was all at the hands of my mother. I resented her for a year or two until I realized that she is my mother and one of us has to be mature about the situation. So I went to visit for Christmas time last year. She picked me up acting as if nothing happened in the past but when we got to her car I saw a missing mirror and it looked like her car got t-boned. She's always been a heavy drinker but it's gotten worse. My grandfather (her dad, my mom and brother love with him) said it was my fault. My mom falls asleep at the wheel and drives home drunk even more than she use to. She just got her motorcycle license, and I will not be surprised when I get the call that she was in a fatal accident because she was drunk or asleep. I will never have the perfect relationship with her even though all is forgiven. But I don't want her dead. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Don't let your mind play games with you, sure she isn't perfect, but she isn't going to die, don't fret!

@saintchantal: Well there's no guarantee she will not die in a accident in fact she may die fast on a motorcycle than if she was in a car.

@AdeenCuffing: Stop you are allowing her to get into your head. Yes I understand you care for your mom but your mom is a fully grown adult and makes her own decisions and responsible for her actions. Her family is right there with her and if they sit there and let her drink and drive well they should go to jail with her. But at the end of the day she chose to drink she chose to drink she will accept the consequence whether she want to or not. Your mother should be so lucky that her daughter care so much for her after what she put you through.

I have a older sister that is on welfare and has a daughter when we reconciled a few years ago I would take them for dinner pay for grocery bought my niece her bus pass so she could go to school I did not mind I was making good money at the time. But as time went on they kept on asking for more and more. It got to the point where I said enough is enough they got along well before I came along and if they did not well they found a way to get by so I put a stop to it and my sister complain to my brother that I stopped taking them out for dinner. How nice well sorry I got off track the point I was trying to make was people make choices good or bad they bad the choice so they have to live with it.
