my mom is an alcoholic and I’m just now sorta coming to terms with that. She’s very high functioning but being home it’s hard to ignore :( the slurred speech at night, the wine in coffee mugs, sneaking bottles into hotels. It’s so sad and I’m so helpless

As someone who grew up with both of my parents as alcoholics, I can tell you that there’s no “coming to terms” or “being okay” with it. I tried too. But it’ll always bother you since you care and it impacts you so much. It’s not easy. I hope soon she understands her impact and finds the strength to overcome her addiction. The emotions you feel are normal.
