[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 733477, member: 15032"] Pasa Sorry you are dealing with this. I think your anger is normal. My mother was also an alcoholic and died when I was only 15 and she was 54. I did not know at that time what an alcoholic even was but I knew that my life was not like that of my childhood friend and I chose to spend a lot of time with her and her family. Also I was the only child of my mother and father so it was somewhat lonely growing up. You probably feel some resentment and rightfully so. I feel that way too at times because my mother's alcoholism ruined my childhood and by her dying so young it changed my life by not having a mother to share my adult life with. In fact I don't think of this often and your post has made me think about it. I think it's great to journal here and be anonymous. Don't feel wrong that you feel this way. It's good to get your feelings out. My mother had a disease and I blame the disease for her behavior rather than blame her. When she was sober for long periods of time (exactly like my son; the parallels are frightening) she was a wonderful person and mother. It makes it easier to deal with that way. [/QUOTE]
