The long and the short of it is:
My parents and I have never really gotten along. We can be civilized toward each other but there really isn't much of a good relationship between us.
My dad and I are getting better, which is good.
My mother, on the other hand....it seems like we're getting worse. In short, my mom's parents are declining in health badly and seemingly rapidly, work is getting more stressful or unbearable or both, and I know there are some other things going on with her.....but I don't know what. I've tried asking her if something was wrong and if there was anything I can do to help with anything, but she won't talk to me about anything really.
I know the relationship issue is both of our faults, not just one or the other.
I don't know how to talk to her or where to even begin and she feels the same way.
And now, with everything going on in her life, it's becoming more and more apparent to me that she is becoming a functional alcoholic. Saturday night was......just awful. And it's getting so hard to keep a Christ-like composure. The things she says is just so frickin' hurtful.....it never used to be this way. And it hurts knowing that she's hurting in some way or another and I can't or don't know what to do.
Please, any advice would be much appreciated
