Thank you, Wearever... My niece is probably an alcoholic. I'm an alcoholic too. I have almost 9 years sobriety. I know what it takes to be and remain sober--it takes willingness, honesty and open-mindedness. Also, a bit of humility. It's very difficult for my niece to be honest with herself and others. Whenever I try to be honest with her or give her constructive criticism, she becomes belligerent. It's her defense mechanism. She cannot or will not listen to reason... only after she's been through a horrible experience (i.e., gone to jail) is she somewhat reasonable. She is so far gone. *shaking head* She has been drinking this way for a few years... I'll call a suicide hotline and see what they have to say. Maybe tomorrow when she's not around.
Today was stressful. She's acting like nothing happened... I just spoke to one of my sister's about what happened last night. She's willing to help me move to New Mexico in May or June. Hopefully I'll be ready by then.
