Family Struggle

Hi @Brian_Cruz and welcome to the forum. Sound like a tough situation. I mean you are basically detoxing in your mother’s home, and she is obviously not a trained professional who knows what that might involve. Maybe let her know that things can get better after you have more clean time, and what the goal it, but don’t get her expectations too high - it may be a long struggle with slips possible. Also stay calm and understand what she basically expects from you when there. Maybe even go out of the way to do extra things she doesn’t ask for like cleaning, cooking, or helping out - staying busy is great for you too! Hope I’m not overstepping with limited knowledge I have of your sit. Others here will chime in.
