Well written, it made me understand a little more what it must be like to love someone so much but still have to take that step back. I hope that you are able to use your writing as a tool, a way to air your thoughts and keep your sanity. Be strong, it is obvious that you are, and do think about using it as a basis for a story. Write it as fictional as then you can explore things that might not be possible in real life.

Powerful. I can feel your pain.
Maybe you should write a book based on your life with your mother. Make it fictional, of course. But use it as a catharsis.

Well, I read your story, and I feel very badly for you.
All I can say Jemmie, is never give up hope, God does work in strange and mysterious ways.
Let go of your dream ,Let go of control ,Let go of pride,Let go of your child(Mom is your child), Let go of trying, Let go of Parenting,(That's what you are-a parent.) BUT: Do not let go of your love, do not let go of your faith, Do not let go of your hope
The most loving and helpful thing you can do for your mother is to leave her alone Trust God

Jemmie211,
I was just reading back on all your blogs, and I must say I am sorry I heven't been following. I shall look at your highlighted sites today. Jemmie, you know I am a recovering alcoholic(never recovered) and I am 36 years sober.
It is a difficult situation for you, and my heart goes out to you. Fact is Jemmie, intervention is a real possibility today, so you might want to look into that. You might start with Alanon, or have a good conversation with a qualified psychotherapist and get help for youself as the daughter of an alcoholic.
If none of that helps, you have to "move on" with your own life, and turn the problem over to
and leave it with Him
