My "father" (if you want to call him that) was the same way before he died. He was drunk more often when he was sober, and he was an angry drunk. Hence why none of his children cried when he "passed away."

Well, I think the best thing you can do is go to this family reunion with an open mind and an open heart, but without expectations. How long has it been since you seen your mom, Kitty? My bf went to an antiques road show with his dad last summer and it was the first time he saw him in 3 or 4 years. And he hasn't seen or spoken with him since. 
Until my Raymie got more comfortable with observing my drinking behaviors he definitely had major issues with my drinking... I think it was more of not knowing if he could trust me while I drank. He was afraid that I would become violent or dramatic... then he realized that I just get overly happy and dancey. But like yourself, he has issues with alcohol that I don't think he will ever overcome. He refuses to drink at home, but will have one drink sometimes when we go out or if he goes out with friends. In a way, it's kind of cute to see him tipsy after one drink. But I always respect his decisions and I never try to force him to drink because I can totally understand why and how he feels.

My mom was physically and verbally abusive even when she was sober, so you can imagine how bad it gets once she's got the drink in her.
God I've got so many issues.
Edit -
Sorry Sleapy. I didn't see your post until now. Physically, I haven't seen my mom since 2007. But mentally and emotionally, I don't think my mom was ever there. Apparently she's got a job at the Target whereever she's living, but I don't know if it's because she had to or to support whatever habit she has now. I know she lost her nursing license because she was found to have stolen like, 87-90 things of an important drug from the nursing home she was working at.(I think it was methadone, but I'm not sure.) So yeah, I don't trust her.
I have so many issues with alcohol alone, not to mention the sexual, physical, emotional, verbal and mental abuse I had to endure for my whole life(up to 2009 of course. I met James in March of that year and everything changed, thank fucking God. I was close to offing myself that year, actually.)

Issues are just obstacles to overcome. With time and patience you can get through hard times and make new, beautiful memories. Dear Gawdz... I sound like a greeting card, but I really do mean it! And that is for the both of you! <33
My dad really hid his drinking, but I never ever saw him sloppy drunk. But when I was growing I did see him hit my mom while he drank and he threatened to shoot us with his gun so many times. My mom and I would have to run into the streets in the middle of the night because of his threats. I really hated growing up living in fear and going to school thinking my dad would come home from work and shoot my mom. But my grandparents really talked with him about his anger (they were there for him like they should have been while he was growing up), and his abusive nature just stopped. It took me years to be able to trust him and love him, but I don't think we can ever be "close". But we are at least working on it.

Is it mean to say I don't want a relationship with my mom unless she takes the first step?

Well, I would say no. You've heard from me how bad my mom is and it's because I kept giving her so many chances. People don't change unless they want to, and if things were bad in the way that they were, then it will be the same unless the bad changes for the better. My mom will never stop her ornery little ways of being mean and spiteful and then crying to everyone when I cut her off unless she WANTS to stop. That's really the only way a good direction can be forged, is if people are willing to change.

I think if you want to have a relationship with your mom be willing to expect anything, but that doesn't mean that you have to be accepting of the things she does. It doesn't mean you have to wait for her to make the first step. But if you don't feel like you're ready to start a relationship with her especially if she's doing things that make you uncomfortable then I'd wait for her. But all of that is your decision.
Methadone is usually a very controlled substance wherever it is used... mostly in clinics though. It's very risky to steal it because of that. I made a speech once about methadone used as a heroin treatment and did my research up on it after my cousin (who had schizophrenia was heavily into drugs) overdosed.

Well I definitely know who to turn to now.
You guys have no idea how rare it is for me to actually connect with someone over my issues and how much it means to me that I can be completely, totally open with someone because of it.
Offline
Any time.
I love to help friends, and besides the fact that I'm a massive bitch, I tend to rationalize and empathize pretty well. It's true that it's very hard to find people out there in teh worlds who aren't actually stuck up their own asses.

You can always ask me for help. Be as negative and brooding and blunt as you want to be. I have learned a lot of things over the years. I'd probably burst if I wasn't able to share it.

There's just some stuff that needs sharing, you know?

Time for sleeeepy, errr sleaaapy. We're going to finish off United States of Tara and hit the sacky. It's been a crazy ass day, but at least it ended on a good note. Night y'all!

Night night.
I'm going to stay up a bit and watch a movie, so I'll be around a while.

Night night you guys. Thanks for the help.

It snowed like crazy here today.

Online
We've snowed a bit here. Not sure what's going on outside now, got the curtains shut 
As for alcohol, my father used to come home drunk from football when I was a child. Not often, but I saw it a few times and felt kinda scared at it - not that he was violent, he just smelt funny and was louder. I've definitely got his attitude to alcohol though, my mum doesn't drink but obviously my dad does. I enjoy a drink, and have only got sick once before from over doing it - never, ever again!
I don't really know whether I'm a lightweight or not though, one drink gives me that floaty, happy, talk to everyone feeling, then a couple more to get me to dance in front of other people. A couple more and I feel a bit shitty.
I've definitely learnt not to mix drinks, but I'm not sure what is a massive no-no to mix with what etc. Feel free to educated me 
Edit: I just realised I wrote 'educated' instead of 'educate', now it looks like I'm a right alcoholic. I promise I'm sober and everything right now.

It's cool for like the first 10 minutes, and then you realise how annoying it is. I went outside about 30 minutes ago and then realised the grit I had put down a few hours before had stopped being effective, so had to re-grit all the pavements. I totally look forward to doing it again tonight or tomorrow morning when it's even worse.
It's been snowing since 4pm (now it's 9) and we're already through a whole kilogram (I think) bag of grit. We've only got one more bag left. I knew we should've bought more
