My mother has been an alcoholic for decades now . I've tried all I could to help her and it has not worked . I have two young children who also live in the house . I don't want them around it. For the last 4 days she has walked to the store in the rain to purchase more alcohol and everyday I take it away . I want her to leave but is there somewhere she can go ? I don't want the guilt that comes along with it but I can't live with it anymore . It is taking a toll on my marriage and family . Please help.
If Mom refuses to leave, if you have followed all the procedures of the eviction process, the sheriff's department will physically remove her.
I imagine you will feel guilt at this. But your first responsibility is to your children (and yourself and your husband). Aren't you feeling guilty about what this is doing to them?
Does your mom have other impairments in addition to alcoholism? What kind of care, if any, does she need?
