Dear Amy: My children are friends with a set of siblings (兄弟姊妹) kids enjoy spending time together, and their mother has publicly announced on social media that my husband and 1 were great parents and my kids were very well behaved.
Her daughter had a birthday party a couple of weeks ago. My kids spent the nigh .
My son, who is 10. had his elder brother's phone with him that night.
I guess at some point my son showed to the other children a video of me in a. drunken state.
I had no idea that the video existed- and I was completely embarrassed that my elder son had taken this video and was making fun of me in it.
I am not mad at my child for being a kid and thinking that the video was funny ,yet the mother of the other children thought it was y huge deal.
I have a tendency to overindulge (过度放纵)in alcohol at times, I admit that I am a hard-working mother of three, and I do drink to unwind after a long day at work. But this woman has completely cut off contact with us and will not allow even our daughters to be friends any longer,
How can get past this emotionally for my well-being,, and how do I explain to my children (hat they cm no longer hang with their best buddies?
Upset: Your claim that you drink to 44unwindp, because you’re such a hardworking and busy mom h nothing more than an excuse to paper over your drinking problem.
Start untangling (理清)this by owning your drinking problem and working hard, starting now, to do something about it. Alcoholism is a. progressive disease. You have probably spent working up to this moment.
There are a number of techniques to try, including yoga, meditation nutrition and 12-step programmes; if you cannot control this by yourself,a counselor (顾问) could give you advice.
This other mother seems to be punishing your children because of your behaviour, but surely you understand that she would not be comfortable having her children at your house. I hope you can communicate calmly with her to work this out, so your kids can continue to be friends.
Amy
