alcoholism? and her kids

My T, based on my telling of some of M's behaviors and "self-medicating" that M is darned close to alcoholic....

It is interesting how much her children have come to avoid talking with her. I'm thinking especially at the moment about her younger son and a conversation I had with him last night on my way home.

He is living / working in Florida -- but work got slow lately.... and he has an opportunity to make some money back here in MI. He needed to make transportation arrangements with me, and hence called me.

Since he may well be in this state by this weekend, before we leave for a trip to see MY folks, in FL..... I told him (at that time) that his mom was probably sober enough for him to call and give her the low-down, too..... (He'd been avoiding calling her, in part because he was a little peeved over semi-nasty messages she'd left him a week or so before....)

Anyway, it's NOT lost on me that at this time, over 24 hours later, he STILL has not called her.... as far as I know. I was going to mention his plans, but NOW, I don't wish to mix that into the current stream of feeling abused and (potentially) abandoned, and all that jazz....
