it’s sad to admit but since i’ve gotten home from rehab, moving back into my moms house, my relationship with her has barely changed. i love her dearly but she sees the person i was in rehab, the person i was away from this living situation, as the version i was to bring home which i tried but the same patterns in her behavior keep going. i understand in active addiction i broke her trust completely but i cant have the constantly dangled over my head. i am this close to leaving in the middle of the night and spending a couple weeks in my car since that’s the only other option i have left.

It’s gonna take some time for your mom to see the change. She has resentments towards you which was earned. Give it some time

Time heals all things....it will take a while and for you to pass a few tests in her mind to rebuild trust. You focus on your sobriety and not getting in trouble and you should have bridges rebuilt eventually.
Start building toward leading a more autonomous life and once you begin making responsible changes, she will come around. Prioritize looking for work, working, saving and going to meetings rather than hanging out with old friends you once used with.
Akasha, your brain is trying to get you away from accountability .. your need to run is the same as when you were using or drinking, accept there is no drinking….this will pass…give yourself sometime to adjust…be gentle on your world and on you!!!! Become amazing Keith Kayle

Give it time.
I caused a lot of damage for a lot of years. That can’t be erased in a few days weeks or months.
I know how you feel ! It’s just gonna take time , my daughters did me the same way I hurt them so much through my active addiction and I couldn’t understand it at first but now I do. Go to your meetings and get a sponsor, your mom will eventually come around trust me! Stay strong and don’t give up!
Hello Akasha,
I hope your situation gets better, it will surely take time and humility.
Remember alcoholism is a family disease. We all need time to recover
