My mother has been a drinker for as long as I can remember. she drinks vodka and so did her father she is now in the hospital where the Dr s have said that her kidneys are working at only 10% and that she needs to stop drinking she is 79 years old, I m going to say that she will not quit and I have told her that I will not judge her, I love her and I will not tell her how to live her life, she raised 5 kids on her own and worked 2-3 jobs for as long as I can remember to support all of us. Me being the oldest remembers more than the others do. I am okay with her decision, she s my angel.
