... that I know she is an alcoholic and has been for several years.
Her serious addiction has always been the elephant in the room. For years I have tiptoed around her drunken phone calls, deceitfulness and inability to hold down any relationships (love or friendship) I am the last person standing by her and today something finally snapped.
I called her at midday about nothing in particular and she was slurring down the phone, unable to string a sentence together. At Midday.
The worst thing of all is that she is supposed to be working from Home which is telephone based.
I hung up the Phone and sent her a very direct message, I said I wouldn't pretend I didn't know anymore for fear of her cutting contact with Me. I told her I loved her and could not watch her slowly kill herself much longer.
To my surprise she replied and apologised profusely, she went on to say how embarrassed she was at who she had turned into. Her messages ended with her saying she would be in contact again once she had resolved the situation or made plans to get help.
The message exchange broke my heart and I realise this may not happen, she may just polish her hiding skills as we've been in this situation before, several times but everytime I still remain hopeful that this may just be the time she changes.
Sorry for the long post, I just needed to vent somewhere 💕
