Merry Christmas, I guess…

Today, a very drunk woman at the family Christmas party told me she felt terrible that I didn't have a mother who cared about me. She's my mother. FML

Don't worry... My mother called me George yesterday. She was sober aswell and thats not the first time she's forgotten my name and bloody gone with Goerge. I'm a damned woman mother. You should know this!

Alcohol brings out the truth. Sometimes.

Maybe she thought you were someone else? In any case, I think what matters more is how she treats you when sober... or how often is she sober?

That was her way of telling you she bought ya for a buck from your birth mom!

The truth that comes out in the form of a slur...

Maybe your mom subconsciously feels guilty that she doesn't act like she cares and doesn't pay enough attention to you and it's coming out because she's drunk. That or she's just spouting off nonsense because she's drunk. I wouldn't worry to much about it though; people say weird stuff all the time when they're drunk. People also do weird stuff when they're drunk so just be happy that she's not naked or running around with a lampshade on her head or something equally crazy.

Also, don't let her drive, that's a big one.
