Alcohol and tylenol especially together can cause liver damage and the tylenol could have been absorbed into her bloodstream before she vomited due to the alcohol content of her stomach. It might be worth the effort just to be sure. And also to give here a wake up call. smile

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	She went to work yesterday and came home and sat downstairs with me. If she'd gone upstairs, I'd been right there with her checking. I'm going to be like a bloodhound. I'm going to get her beyond this with the help of God because I know He loves her dearly. I'm sorry to have so many problems to talk about here. I'd like to post some good news! I'm working on it though and how much I appreciate your words and advice is beyond measure. Love you gals.

Sometimes its good things other times its not such good things. We are here to try to handle either and be here for whatever sister needs us.....You have made more of us laugh and feel good with your posts about Sammie so you're entitled...we care Dianne.

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	Thanks Chatty. That means a lot to me. It gets tiring sometimes and I want to say, "I'm tired of being the mother!"

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	Hello Dianne, I can imagine that you are exhausted. Your plate is always full, as the saying goes. I think you have more roles to play with your daughter and that is one reason for you being tired. You are counselor and friend and cheerleader and watcher (upstairs? or downstairs?) and confidante and life line and life saver. What would you say to getting her into therapy for a while? You have an awful lot to deal with. Love and Light, Lynn

Dianne Queen of Shoes Registered: 05/24/04 Posts: 6123 Loc: Arizona	I'm really irritated with her right now. She called me from work and said, "Let's go out when I get off work and have a drink." I said no, I didn't want to and she needed to really work on this. She said, "Well, I want to!" Her attitude sucks!

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	Dianne, in addition to all the roles you are taking on (listed above) now she wants her mother to be her drinking buddy? No wonder you are irritated. How is her counseling going? I am afraid YOU might have to do the work as in going to the AA meetings for the family members who deals with the drinking member of the family. You can't be her guard because she will turn it against you and accuse you of running a prison, as well as her life. Dianne, you two need an objective party, ie a therapist. I know you said you "sent" her to a counselor before, but it must have been ineffective or short term therapy. What about now? I hope and pray you find some peace in this explosive situation. Love and Light, Lynn
