Growing up with my mom, my entire relationship with her was trying to prove that she had a problem and trying to spin my words a certain way to articulate to her that she had a problem.
You know, if I said it one way, she would tell me that she didn't have a problem and shut it down.
So every time I had that, I had to articulate it a different way, try to give her a perspective.

couldn't admit that they had a problem or couldn't understand that if you're getting drunk at 5 a.m.
and driving your kids drunk to school, right?
So I'd find different ways to try and communicate with her.
So I always thought it was a communication error and it was never that.
And that was my problem is it was never a communication error.
It was not wanting to admit you had a problem, but you knowing it did.
