Today, I found out that my mom isn't coming to see me for Christmas. Instead she'll be spending it in jail for a DUI and battery. Thank you to my cocklick of an aunt for taking a recovering alcoholic to a bar and pressuring her into relapse. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my alcoholic mother decided to finally check herself into rehab. She did it while drunk, and flirted with the front attendant. FML
Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML
Today, I received a very expensive bottle of wine for Christmas. My alcoholic mother snuck into my house while I was out and drank the whole bottle. FML
Today, whilst at my new step-dad's Christmas lunch, my mother spiked my drink so that I would look worse than her in front of her new mother-in-law. FML
Today, I woke up to the news that my mom's in jail. FML
Today, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, my mom left the house in the morning, leaving me alone. I called and I got no answer. Hours later, she finally answers one of my calls and tells me that she'd been in an AA meeting all this time. Happy, I tell her to come home. She came home drunk. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and decided to unwrap all my Christmas gifts and throw them at the wall. Ho, ho, ho. FML
Today, my mom offered to drive us into the city after Christmas. I told her months ago that I wasn't getting in a car she was driving, because I don't trust her not to secretly drink and drive. I guess she either forgot or didn't think I meant it. Now I have to tell her again, two days before flying down there. FML
Today, my mom was put in jail for beating the shit out of my dad. FML

Now that's low. Now let's just hope your aunt doesn't start complaining about how hard it is to deal with a drunk...

But OP just wants to lead the mother into a better life. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

You should be telling that to OP's aunt. Since SHE was the one who pressured her poor sister into a relapse.

FYL. But this is better than your mom killing someone in a car wreck.

Wow, your aunt is awful. FYI, OP. It's bad enough that your mom relapsed, worse that's she's gotten into trouble as well. But that it's happened on Christmas--I'd be upset at the very least. I hope you're still able to enjoy your holiday.

Its time to rethink your ties with certain members of the family.

Hopefully the holiday spent in jail will wake her up and make her more determined not to relapse again. Dealing with addiction is tough and it can sometimes take something like this to keep the person on track for good.
