well believe me...had my mother died before i had become "enlightened" living with her alcoholism, i'm not sure how i would be coping...

she was a beautiful, wonderful person and much of my anger stemmed from being pissed off that she was "killing herself"...living "selfishly" and taking herself away from us long before "her time".

she developed alcoholic neuropathy and dementia associated with alcoholism which became quite unmanageable suddenly after a relatively routine surgical procedure. a condition that is quite similar to alzheimers...but throughout she was always "mom" and "grandmother" and i just consider myself lucky to have been able to be with her and help her along her path.

i remember just as many good days and times with my mother as the bad, i feel fortunate because of that.
