A: You are an amazing and loving daughter to try to help so repeatedly. Sadly, no one can make an addict stop abusing drugs and/or alcohol. It’s a decision your mom has to make. Unfortunately, however much she loves you, her addiction is even bigger than that love. As a result, you are both missing out on the relationship you could have. I’m very sad for you both.My best advice to you is to find the local chapter of Al-Anon or Al-Ateen. Both organizations help family members cope with the addiction of someone they love. You will get practical suggestions and support from others who are struggling with the same issues. I found this phone number on the web (361) 986-0799 for Al-anon Family Groups in your city. Please give them a try. It could help you feel less alone.I wish you well.
