My mum is an ex-alcoholic. About 15years ago she started drinking vodka heavily, 3 years ago my disabled sister and myself were took into foster care because of my parents alcohol use and domestic violence. 2 years later my dad died, another year later, after she was sectioned due to mental issues, we were back into my mothers care.
The years following that she had ups and downs with drinking wine on an evening, she couldn't even stand the sight of vodka. But sometimes she'd drink so much of an evening she'd still be drunk of a morning.
When I fell pregnant with my daughter in 2010 she stopped the alcohol and tried for a relationship between us (we're not all that close). Although the past year she started going out with an old friend and now reguarly drinks vodka on an evening.
Now my wedding is coming up (20th of this month ), we arranged long ago that she'd have my daughter overnight after the wedding. She recently invited this old friend to the wedding ceremony and the reception, this I had no problems with until I saw a discussion about them having a good evening and a little drink. I spoke with my mum about the fact I do not want her to drink a drop as she will have my daughter overnight, she agreed profusely that she wouldn't. I went onto her Facebook messages (naughty I know) and found her and this pal discussing how they will take the drinking slowly during the WHOLE day on the wedding!!! I am SO angry but how in the hell do I say something to her when I only know from looking on her FB?!!! I can just imagine her with a little bottle of vodka slipping it in her drinks under the table... I'd say it would ruin the whole bloody day but I can't see her caring one bit!!
