I think it’s brave to speak about it but the cynic in me thinks this is their attempt to find compelling content. I couldn’t bring myself to watch it.
I grew up with a high functioning alcoholic mother (house was spotless, food always on the table) but even then it was still hard to be around it. I thought it was normal for mom’s to get weird in the evening and have to help them to their bed. That all mom’s spill secrets and worries with their children at bedtime. When I realised it wasn’t, I felt ashamed of myself and worried that if only I was good enough or gave better advice, my mom wouldn’t drink so much. Insane looking back. My mom is a good mom and fought her demons once I left home. I’m glad Hannah and Steff are sober.
