You'd think that if you were a mother, and you asked your children what they would change most about you if they could, that when they say "I wish you'd quit drinking," you'd actually do it. You'd think you'd be able to see how hard it is for them to handle, how much it's tearing them apart, but you know, you'd all be wrong. Apparently, you can't see it. Especially if you ask your children when you're already drunk...

I wish she'd stop drinking. It hurts everyone around her, but it hurts her the most.
