“I didn’t drink spirits so I couldn’t be an alcoholic.” I heard the same thing growing up and I hear the same thing now. So proud of Jackson’s mum for quitting. January 2022 my mum quit drinking for the month and it was the best our relationship had ever been. Don’t know why I dumped this in a TH-cam comment.
I like how you had the nerve to let others know how good it was when your mom quit drinking. Perhaps that knowledge will encourage someone else to quit. Thankyou.
I can’t imagine why anyone taking in a small child because they were being bombed out during the war would lock them in a cupboard for any reason. What a cruel thing to do. I am so glad Joan had a beautiful husband daughter and granddaughter. May she RIP.
Western societies are very hard on mothers: isolating, with very little help. It's crazy to expect one woman to look after three kids under five 24 hours a day. The sleep deprivation alone is horrendous. So-called primitive societies know that it really does take a village to raise a child, or at least a whole lot of friends and relatives to give the mother a break.
Try being a single mom. The Supreme Court told my husband he had to pay $10 a month child support and every cheque bounced. I worked a full-time job and two part-time jobs just to make it every month. I wouldn’t want to be a single mom now trying to make it with what the price of rent and groceries are.
People should not have children that they cannot afford. If you're single and pregnant, make plans to place your child for adoption. And in no case should anyone have more than two children. The biggest problem that our planet faces is over-population. We are running out of clean water and clean air, and trees to produce oxygen. Without enough oxygen content in our air, all animals will die, including humans. The decision to have a third child, is extremely selfish, and should be illegal.
@@SnowPink90 I don't know how you feel about this but I think what you said is one of the many reasons women should be able to choose whether to have a child or not, even if they become pregnant
when jacob mom was talking about his love of dancing and how he was asked "congrats jacob you won where do you come from." and he says "I came from me mom." My heart just melted and I awwww'd. Lovely memory to have and cherish.
That young Indian dr was so lovely to that mum. What a great way to be with someone when they are facing such horror. I am sure his mum must be very proud of him. I know I would be. He must have been brought up to respect everyone, well done.
I was thinking that same thing. How respectful of the doctor to get down to her level and speak to her. A doctor standing over you,feels like a disconnect. Talking at you,instead of to you.
@@jojo1216 That doctor has true compassion. I hope it never wares down. In the U.S. it takes a new doctor about 2 years to get burnt out and stop caring. Most of them. But we have to blame the system for that
So courageous of Jacob's Mum to admit her flaws on TV. Not too many folks come to this type of realization on their own. Kudos to her, she's admitted to things I don't know if I would. My prayers for a most happy life!Very sad her son drank, but his Mum knows what he's going thru. He's certainly learned a valuable lesson!
Dr's in the UK and NZ get a hard time if they think they are above everyone else. The nurses would put them in their place and their bosses won't tolerate it. I had a consultant (head dr) once who told his juniors when they started, "There are several hundred years of experience within the nursing staff, when you are working with them the collective experience is several decades, you listen to them always. They know what they are doing."
Looks like you have crappy hospitals! My main hospital I go to is SO amazing and they’ll get you anything. Warmed blankets, pillows, ice water, literally anything.
The mom being so honest and translucent about her addiction and how it affected her was so inspiring and her getting the help. I hope All the best for the family and I'm very glad nothing worse happened to him
She is a very good mother. To go through all the drinking and to say she’s done is a hard thing to cold turkey herself. My heart is out to Joan’s daughter. It’s hard to loss your mother. Bless them all
"I didn't know anything about me before I stopped drinking." good lord. that hit me right in the feels. i have 9 years sober tomorrow and was lucky to get sober at 27. i wish jacob and his whole family the best.
i think that it’s admirable that the Mom realized that alcohol caused her to exist and not to live, and she trying to pass those lessons on to her children…..Jackson is so brave an$ i love his hat!
I have noticed that in England snd Australia, at least, people can touch each other in reassurance and caring manners. It is such a nice change from the US where a touch could result in “harassment “ accusations. 😊
The treatment I have received in the public health system here in Australia has been over and above exceptional. Yes waiting times can be a pain, but once through those doors excellence and compassion reigns. Queensland Health, Toowoomba.
I have been binging this series over the past couple of days. And the biggest takeaway that I have from this, is that I can't believe how much doctors over there actually care about their patients. In the US, you would not find this level of compassion and just pure humanity. Doctors here, especially ER doctors, are so condescending and rude and act like all you do is waste their time is there time, as if they aren't on the clock to help you. They don't even bother to actually listen to you, and if they do, half the time they don't believe whatever you say anyway because there's no way that we could possibly know anything going on in our own bodies without a medical degree 🙄
I was T-boned in an accident. A car hit mine in the driver's door and flipped my Jeep. In the emergency room, I barely saw the doctor. He came in and rocked his knuckles on my chest and I screamed. He said I was alert and walked out. It hurt to breathe or move my torso. A week later I saw my G.P. and he caught that I had fractured my sternum. The doctor in the ER was too busy to do a full exam and ignored my pain and anything I said. I now have a ridge in my sternum because it didn't heal correctly. I will never go back to that ER if I can help it.
I end up spending a lot of the time in the hospital in ER. I live in the US I have been blessed to have many many doctors and nurses who are gentle compassionate kind and willing to listen and look and save my life at least twice.
@@anastasiarose9003 well your experience seems to be rare. I live in the US and I'm in and out of doctors, specialists and ERs all the time. They treat me less than human and honestly don't seem to care if I live or die. They are rude, don't take me seriously, and have caused more issues than they have fixed.
😢I had 3 babies under 5,was a RN, came from an addictive family whether it was drugs or alcohol..but it was only social on the weekends...but thank God I do not have an addictive personality...I had lots of energy always,did not know what it was like to not going 200 mi.a hour through the day..worked 2 jobs,etc...loved it.Then I developed lupus,fibromyalgia,arthritis,in high school I was a cheerleader,in the band,every club around...all 3 of my kids r different..more like their dad,laced back etc...I am glad I didn't turn to drinking or drugs and neither has it been passed to my babies,even though their dad's Father also was an alcoholic..
I admire the mother discussing her alcoholism. To just look at her, I’d never have imagined that. But alcoholism doesn’t discriminate 🥴. I’m happy for her and her family that she realized she had a problem and worked on it
Jacob's Mom probably had postpartum depression after having 3 children in 5 years and didn't realize it so she used wine to help her cope...glad she's in recovery.
Poor little boy. I am the same way with blood draw. I can watch it happen to someone else. However, I have passed out more than once if I see it happen to me. Always look away Jackson.
I’m almost 64 and have been dry for just over 5 years. I got a DUII and it was a really good wake-up. I come from a very dysfunctional alcoholic family. Many of my family members are alcoholics. I don’t want to die like my grandma and father did at the age of 66. I still crave alcohol but I will never drink again. I have no cut off point, so I drank till it was all gone, or I went to sleep. I now don’t have to apologize for things that I said and did that I don’t remember. My life is so much better. I’m so thankful for having a loving supportive husband who decided to not drink, so that he could support me.
I switched from 60 years of coffee to tea with organic grass fed half and half, which is what I used in my coffee, it’s ok. It’s a lot faster than making French press, and less caffeine. Still want my coffee though, lol…
It works all over Europe and in NZ, Aus and Canada. We all pay a part of our income into a national scheme to fund it all. I just can't get my head around people dying because of lack of health care in the US or going bankrupt. It's immoral.
If you want to wait many, many hours sitting in A & E’s… or have to wait months and months to get treatment for cancer ( why do you think so many Canadians come to the U.S. for treatment? To live) Having to sit in an ER for a minor issue because they don’t have private Dr’s like we do here. Or they can pay a lot to have one. Our medical system is not perfect by any means but compared to socialized medicine… we have the absolute best.
Sadly, as a medical professional, if somebody admits to drinking three drinks, we always double it, because nobody will honestly admit how much they’ve had to drink or how many drugs they’ve ingested. Although I will say from the state of Jacob, I would tend to believe him that it was closer to three than six. RIP to grandma Yager she seemed amazing, and she reminded me of my own Nan
@@ItzBrittKneeBish would you want to be the one who causes a OD, because you didn’t error on the side of caution & experience…because that’s what emergency treatment has to do. Yes, there probably are some people who are honest but in life sadly the many pay for the actions of a few. Besides honestly… I would rather be in pain than accidentally given way too much medicine.
I don't drink but I do use cannabis (legal recreational), and I was very careful in calculating the amount of use when I was filling out new patient history when I changed providers recently. I want them to be as informed as possible when they are making medication decisions for me.
Rest in peace, Joan. My friends Mom was sent to the country too. She was from London too. Mr. Dalton stayed and dug fox holes and did stuff until after the war when Mrs Dalton came home. She also got the same treatment as Joan did. She only had one doll with her. Her and Mrs. Dalton told me all the good and bad stories. She passed away with 56 years of marriage. Mr. Dalton went not that long after. I’ve also been sober since 7/25/98. I understood everything she said about the struggle. Get well kid. No more booze. Love from Las Vegas.
The children that get themselves in these positions should have to see the pain they put their parents through while they heal. I know that sounds rough but I've seen the devastating seen the poor parents. Pray they learned lessons
Congratulations on your 10 year sobriety (as of when this episode was shot). Keep up the great work . My dad was an acholic. Quite drinking when I was in about grade 6 ( I'm 47 now) 😊😊❤
A thought - in the Relatives' Waiting Rooms, there should be easy chairs that recline, dim lights and soft music. That way people can sit and relax as they await word of their loved ones.
That’s one thing I’m glad about being a type one diabetic for 53 years now, is that I didn’t like the way alcohol made me feel. Even after one drink when I would feel the alcohol working in me it felt like I was having a diabetic Lo blood sugar, and I hate how they feel. I very very seldom drink. And I don’t smoke. I feel bad when people get addicted to anything, not being able to walk away from it. Like with smoking, to think that that one cigarette has control over you or that one drink has control over you, it’s incredible. That cigarette you could step on and crush, that drink you could pour it down the sink. For those to have control over you to the point that you’re shaking because you need it, is just so sad. I’m glad that the boy realized that he was on the path to becoming what his mom was, an alcoholic. It was a very good lesson for him to learn from and thank goodness he walked away without any real serious injuries. I’m so happy for his mom that she went and received help with her drinking problem. She’s a very humble woman to admit to the public that she had a problem and that she had to go for help. Nothing is wrong with asking for help when needed. I look up to people like her because she’s very strong to have quit drinking. I’m so impressed by that little boy’s manners and just how well he dealt with what he was going through. I’m glad he responded to the antibiotics very well. Now his poor dad could go home and have a good nights sleep in his bed.😃 My condolences to the family that lost their mom and grandma. Like the daughter said, she knows her mom couldn’t live forever.🥺
There is an aspect that can never be fixed, and that is the scars left on the children of alcoholics . She says “I am a bloody good mom” like past never existed. Both my parents were alcoholics, the damage they did to us took years of therapy and cutting them completely out of our lives.
Adult children of alcoholics can and do get better if they join Al-Anon. After 10+ years of sobriety, I find myself on both sides of the issue. My brother, a person I love more than anyone else on earth, is an alcoholic, as are two cousins. The best thing a loved one can do is cut off the drinker -- it's essential to keeping one's own sanity. Good on you for getting therapy and talking with others who have had similar experiences. I hope that you have found peace..
Love this program but why the hell don't people say that the DRIVER drove into a wall instead of saying the car drove into the wall. The message will never get through until the news readers say the truth - the driver was speeding or drunk and drove off the road!!!!!
That's so very very sad for Joan ,I can't even imagine what it was like during the war ,only people that lived in would understand the horror of that time .I'm so happy She found someone so loving and kind and I'm so sorry your Dad is gone ,but I'm sure he'sin heaven and just waiting for his Treasure so they can dance and dance forever .I can't stop crying ,I wasn't expecting that .I'm so sorry about Joan but I know she's up in heaven and dancing and my Grandparents are there too and I know they're great friends .
Like people who opt to consume alcohol anywhere in the world and mj where it's LEGAL, either do it at home and not drive for a minimum of twelve hours after your last partaking episode while if you're going to partake outside of the house- get a fucking safe ride home from someone who has not partaken in your activities...... 🤦♀️
I heard that if one person is an alcoholic one parent is an alcoholic then you have 50% chance of being an alcoholic too if you’re their child and 90% chance of being an alcoholic if both of your parents are alcoholics
Regardless of the substance or behaviour.....addiction is an attempt to ease emotional pain.....Address those issues...(often very difficult)...and it goes a long way to solving that problem.
The lady that fell could have been my mommy.my mommy grew up not being shown love so even though she showed us 5 kids love in her own way it was daddy that taught us true love.
Bleh. I knew that ending was coming, but it still sucked. At first I didn't like Joan, but then you hear what she went through, and you saw the genuine love the family had for each other, and you saw that there was a sense of humor under that gruff exterior, her passing hit hard.
I have never drank alcoholic drinks in my life nor have I ever smoked in my 30 years of living but I have seen how it has affected some of my family members and friends not good a waste of money and life !
It's good that Jacob's mother has quit drinking. Now, she needs to quit smoking. Nicotrol products can be a great help, I had a great result with the Nicotrol Cartridge Inhaler System.
They are trying to show how alcoholism effects a whole family, how it starts, how it effects innocent bystanders. Mom is a recovering alcoholic, now the son is driving drunk and he may have hurt others. They are showing the cycle of alcoholism.
I went to the er super sick, in a lot of pain, sicker than a dog.... they accused me of being a drug seeker... tried to send me home for some stomach virus. Um I had sepsis and was knocking on deaths door. The united health care system is broken.
My dad was a very mean alcoholic. He beat my mom constantly. I hated him til the day he died. He did the same to his kids. He was awful. As a result of his alcoholism, it made me pre- disposed. I have attended Alanon for many years. I was actually able to forgive him . He has been gone since 1991
The mother, although a problematic period in her life, she needs to call a spade where Jackson is concerned, wrong time for the gorgeous talk, the seriousness of that accident needs discussed in terms endangering others, if he doesn’t start taking responsibility for the privilege of having a license.
I think it's strange that the doctors and nurses say, " tummy" instead of stomach. In the US, we would only say tummy to a small child. Is it different in Great Britain?
I'm 61 and that's the way I'll be when my Grandkids are old enough ,I drink straight tequila but I drank some Rum when my daughter took me on vacation in the Bahamas and that got me a little drunk ,I've never drank rum before ,thought I didn't like it but that little sweet gal on the beach made me some good drinks lol
She’s replaced drinking with vaping! Vaping is a sure killer as well! I had 2 friends who died at young ages from vaping, as well as 3 who died in their 50’s from cigarettes! I miss all 5 friends and relatives!!! Everyone should stop smoking, vaping & drinking, Please! 🙏🙏🙏
Please realizethat Dads have a stressful time raising children as well as Moms. They work hard and long. They try to have family time. They worry about the future. They have their dhare of stress with family life. 😊

Obviously, you needed to. Perhaps you need to talk to someone, a friend, or a therapist. May God bless you.
I like how you had the nerve to let others know how good it was when your mom quit drinking. Perhaps that knowledge will encourage someone else to quit. Thankyou.
Thanks for your courage in speaking up, speaking out.
Sometimes telling a room full of strangers is easier than telling somebody you know.
I think you needed too without realizing it, maybe someone else will read this and it'll ignite some sort of change ❤
I can’t imagine why anyone taking in a small child because they were being bombed out during the war would lock them in a cupboard for any reason. What a cruel thing to do. I am so glad Joan had a beautiful husband daughter and granddaughter. May she RIP.
So honest of Jacob’s mom. Being a parent is so damn hard and there is no let up, no help. She is a hero.

Joan and her daughter and granddaughter are so precious----lovely personalities.
Holding your parents hand when they pass away is a strange, yet amazing experience. Life is truly fragile.
I held my moms hand and my biological fathers Hans as they passed. Twenty four years apart. Both feel like yesterday. It’s something I can’t explain
I'm so very impressed with all the doctors that really take care of there patients
I’m impressed with all the staff. It’s not just the doctors who are outstanding in the A&E.
I can’t imagine an ER doctor in the US ever going to get water for a family member of a patient. At least I’ve never seen it.
Dr's in the UK and NZ get a hard time if they think they are above everyone else. The nurses would put them in their place and their bosses won't tolerate it.

Looks like you have crappy hospitals! My main hospital I go to is SO amazing and they’ll get you anything. Warmed blankets, pillows, ice water, literally anything.
He was so kind. Wish we had such in USA
.
Yup that never happens here ! Even the nurses never offer anything at all our medical system has no sense of hospitality.
I held my mom’s hand when she took her last breath as well. No matter the age, we always need and miss our moms. She died on February 14th.
💙💙💙
So did I❤❤

I love the way the dr. is kneeling down when talking to the mother. so precious!
Niki is such an inspiration. She clearly explains alcoholism for her very well and for her to be 10 years sober what a brave determined lady.

Have been in hospital in USA Canada and Ireland. Best kindness people were in Ireland I loved them!
The Very Beginning is Awesome , The narrator The doctors and Nurse`s . They tell the Wisdom , we forget to quickly and to often . I LOVE IT!
Aww Jackson is such a sweet kid!
Jacob's Mom probably had postpartum depression after having 3 children in 5 years and didn't realize it so she used wine to help her cope...glad she's in recovery.
Blessings to one and all...sigh.
May God bless you as well. ✝️ 🕊 🌹 ❤
Jackson and his dad are so sweet.
Good job Mom for staying sober!
How cute are all 3 patients in their own way. And my heart broke at the end, I was not expecting that 😢
Joan reminds me so much of my great grandma. I spend a lot of time with her 🩷
Thank you for this episode all the best to these great families ❤
Wow Jackson did incredibly well with that blood draw, what a superstar ❤️🩹
Poor little boy. I am the same way with blood draw. I can watch it happen to someone else. However, I have passed out more than once if I see it happen to me. Always look away Jackson.
When she told him he could watch...I thought, uh-oh, big mistake. Poor little thing turned absolutely white. Bless his heart.
bless her heart and your family 🙏🏻❤
♥️🥺🥹 Breeeathe innnn and Hold your breath...
♥️🙏♥️
Yes, today in fact
Rest in paradise with your love Joan.
*VERY GOOD*
I’m almost 64 and have been dry for just over 5 years. I got a DUII and it was a really good wake-up. I come from a very dysfunctional alcoholic family. Many of my family members are alcoholics. I don’t want to die like my grandma and father did at the age of 66. I still crave alcohol but I will never drink again. I have no cut off point, so I drank till it was all gone, or I went to sleep. I now don’t have to apologize for things that I said and did that I don’t remember. My life is so much better. I’m so thankful for having a loving supportive husband who decided to not drink, so that he could support me.
You British love your tea!
Yes we do.
Yes we do.
I like tea,and I'm from Finland.
I switched from 60 years of coffee to tea with organic grass fed half and half, which is what I used in my coffee, it’s ok. It’s a lot faster than making French press, and less caffeine. Still want my coffee though, lol…
I’m so glad Mom has stopped drinking. It’s hard to do but so very worth it
R.I.P. Joan Robinson. Great and interesting lady. Definitely been thru some shit
The more I watch these videos, the more I think a national health system might work better in the US than employer-based health insurance.
It works all over Europe and in NZ, Aus and Canada. We all pay a part of our income into a national scheme to fund it all. I just can't get my head around people dying because of lack of health care in the US or going bankrupt. It's immoral.
Good luck with that....US healthcare is just a money machine
You do realize that tax payers will be the ones paying for everyone’s healthcare.
I agree ❤
If you want to wait many, many hours sitting in A & E’s… or have to wait months and months to get treatment for cancer ( why do you think so many Canadians come to the U.S. for treatment?

Sadly, as a medical professional, if somebody admits to drinking three drinks, we always double it, because nobody will honestly admit how much they’ve had to drink or how many drugs they’ve ingested. Although I will say from the state of Jacob, I would tend to believe him that it was closer to three than six.
RIP to grandma Yager she seemed amazing, and she reminded me of my own Nan
Saying that nobody will be honest is a harsh opinion. I realize people lie but there are those who speak truth still.
@@ItzBrittKneeBish would you want to be the one who causes a OD, because you didn’t error on the side of caution & experience…because that’s what emergency treatment has to do. Yes, there probably are some people who are honest but in life sadly the many pay for the actions of a few. Besides honestly… I would rather be in pain than accidentally given way too much medicine.
@@cobramom3just another example of MINORITY ruling.....upside down & stupid .....as usual🙄
I don't drink but I do use cannabis (legal recreational), and I was very careful in calculating the amount of use when I was filling out new patient history when I changed providers recently. I want them to be as informed as possible when they are making medication decisions for me.
I love that Joan swears a little bit LOL
Rest in peace, Joan. My friends Mom was sent to the country too. She was from London too. Mr. Dalton stayed and dug fox holes and did stuff until after the war when Mrs Dalton came home. She also got the same treatment as Joan did. She only had one doll with her. Her and Mrs. Dalton told me all the good and bad stories. She passed away with 56 years of marriage. Mr. Dalton went not that long after. I’ve also been sober since 7/25/98. I understood everything she said about the struggle. Get well kid. No more booze. Love from Las Vegas.
The children that get themselves in these positions should have to see the pain they put their parents through while they heal. I know that sounds rough but I've seen the devastating seen the poor parents. Pray they learned lessons
Jackson is such a sweetie pie bless him
Congratulations on your 10 year sobriety (as of when this episode was shot). Keep up the great work . My dad was an acholic. Quite drinking when I was in about grade 6 ( I'm 47 now) 😊😊❤
A thought - in the Relatives' Waiting Rooms, there should be easy chairs that recline, dim lights and soft music. That way people can sit and relax as they await word of their loved ones.
That’s one thing I’m glad about being a type one diabetic for 53 years now, is that I didn’t like the way alcohol made me feel. Even after one drink when I would feel the alcohol working in me it felt like I was having a diabetic Lo blood sugar, and I hate how they feel. I very very seldom drink. And I don’t smoke. I feel bad when people get addicted to anything, not being able to walk away from it. Like with smoking, to think that that one cigarette has control over you or that one drink has control over you, it’s incredible. That cigarette you could step on and crush, that drink you could pour it down the sink. For those to have control over you to the point that you’re shaking because you need it, is just so sad.
I’m glad that the boy realized that he was on the path to becoming what his mom was, an alcoholic. It was a very good lesson for him to learn from and thank goodness he walked away without any real serious injuries. I’m so happy for his mom that she went and received help with her drinking problem. She’s a very humble woman to admit to the public that she had a problem and that she had to go for help. Nothing is wrong with asking for help when needed. I look up to people like her because she’s very strong to have quit drinking.
I’m so impressed by that little boy’s manners and just how well he dealt with what he was going through. I’m glad he responded to the antibiotics very well. Now his poor dad could go home and have a good nights sleep in his bed.😃
My condolences to the family that lost their mom and grandma. Like the daughter said, she knows her mom couldn’t live forever.🥺
There is an aspect that can never be fixed, and that is the scars left on the children of alcoholics . She says “I am a bloody good mom” like past never existed. Both my parents were alcoholics, the damage they did to us took years of therapy and cutting them completely out of our lives.
Adult children of alcoholics can and do get better if they join Al-Anon. After 10+ years of sobriety, I find myself on both sides of the issue. My brother, a person I love more than anyone else on earth, is an alcoholic, as are two cousins. The best thing a loved one can do is cut off the drinker -- it's essential to keeping one's own sanity. Good on you for getting therapy and talking with others who have had similar experiences. I hope that you have found peace..
@@josi7955 Thank you, well said!👏🏼
Totally agree with you. It's the invisible damage that really does the worst damage. Especially if the parents keep saying they were great parents.
@@sheribrougham4863 But they are not invisible they are quite visible.
Love this program but why the hell don't people say that the DRIVER drove into a wall instead of saying the car drove into the wall.
The message will never get through until the news readers say the truth - the driver was speeding or drunk and drove off the road!!!!!
Good point!!
Oh, I agree 100% 😊
Those metal chairs look like torture de ices! Lol!
That's so very very sad for Joan ,I can't even imagine what it was like during the war ,only people that lived in would understand the horror of that time .I'm so happy She found someone so loving and kind and I'm so sorry your Dad is gone ,but I'm sure he'sin heaven and just waiting for his Treasure so they can dance and dance forever .I can't stop crying ,I wasn't expecting that .I'm so sorry about Joan but I know she's up in heaven and dancing and my Grandparents are there too and I know they're great friends .
Bless you
Like people who opt to consume alcohol anywhere in the world and mj where it's LEGAL, either do it at home and not drive for a minimum of twelve hours after your last partaking episode while if you're going to partake outside of the house- get a fucking safe ride home from someone who has not partaken in your activities...... 🤦♀️
I've seen too much heartache because of poor decisions. 😢 I'm a retired helicopter RN.
what does the bubble wrap used for when they put it on the patient?
I heard that if one person is an alcoholic one parent is an alcoholic then you have 50% chance of being an alcoholic too if you’re their child and 90% chance of being an alcoholic if both of your parents are alcoholics
Regardless of the substance or behaviour.....addiction is an attempt to ease emotional pain.....Address those issues...(often very difficult)...and it goes a long way to solving that problem.
Nothing good happens at quarter to four in the morning!
The lady that fell could have been my mommy.my mommy grew up not being shown love so even though she showed us 5 kids love in her own way it was daddy that taught us true love.
I agree motherhood is a whirlwind. I had 3 in 3 1/2 years. It was wild to say the least
What is the little tab on the nasal canula for?
Bleh. I knew that ending was coming, but it still sucked. At first I didn't like Joan, but then you hear what she went through, and you saw the genuine love the family had for each other, and you saw that there was a sense of humor under that gruff exterior, her passing hit hard.
I have never drank alcoholic drinks in my life nor have I ever smoked in my 30 years of living but I have seen how it has affected some of my family members and friends not good a waste of money and life !
It's good that Jacob's mother has quit drinking. Now, she needs to quit smoking. Nicotrol products can be a great help, I had a great result with the Nicotrol Cartridge Inhaler System.
Where is the episode where the child says i am going to be fine i am going to be very fine
Older episode I seen it a few weeks back
She's just the cutest.
@@JillABaker970 do you remember what episode it was
@@louiseleonard1992 if you’re still interested, it’s season 2, episode 11
The mom of the 20 year old is on a rant about caring for 3 very young children? Not related to the 20 year old in ER??
I am happy to hear that she recognized she was in trouble and took some positive action. Kudos!!!
Narcistic 19:47
I pray that Jacob gets help with his drinking problem
To Jacobs mom - boy, do I hear you on that one. One's too many, and a hundred's not enough.
It is the name Jacob. Our Jake has been much the same as has been every Jacob I have met or seen
Pillows scarce there? We fight over pillows here in Utah USA!
My mom was the same way there was no nourishing, cuddles or even any kindness , I always thought it was just the English way
the word you are looking for is tactile
I find it strange how people have loved ones in hospital and the interviews end up all about themselves and their problems.
They are trying to show how alcoholism effects a whole family, how it starts, how it effects innocent bystanders. Mom is a recovering alcoholic, now the son is driving drunk and he may have hurt others. They are showing the cycle of alcoholism.
Its how this show works. About how these things affect families as well as the person
i suppose just answerin questions asked
I went to the er super sick, in a lot of pain, sicker than a dog.... they accused me of being a drug seeker... tried to send me home for some stomach virus. Um I had sepsis and was knocking on deaths door. The united health care system is broken.
My dad was a very mean alcoholic. He beat my mom constantly. I hated him til the day he died. He did the same to his kids. He was awful. As a result of his alcoholism, it made me pre- disposed. I have attended Alanon for many years. I was actually able to forgive him . He has been gone since 1991
I should add, he got in alot of car wrecks and always injured my mother
Someone please tell Jacobs’s mum what calling someone “cracker” means 😂😂😂
The meaning's different in British English.
She traded one addiction for another vapping.
30mph is high speed? Apparently the definition is extremely different in the UK
The mother, although a problematic period in her life, she needs to call a spade where Jackson is concerned, wrong time for the gorgeous talk, the seriousness of that accident needs discussed in terms endangering others, if he doesn’t start taking responsibility for the privilege of having a license.
I think it's strange that the doctors and nurses say, " tummy" instead of stomach. In the US, we would only say tummy to a small child. Is it different in Great Britain?
And not one person had to worry about a co pay, being out of network or denial of services.
The mom has a Joan Osborne vibe to her ❤anyone else think that too???
12:51 I’d pay money to watch the that
I'm 61 and that's the way I'll be when my Grandkids are old enough ,I drink straight tequila but I drank some Rum when my daughter took me on vacation in the Bahamas and that got me a little drunk ,I've never drank rum before ,thought I didn't like it but that little sweet gal on the beach made me some good drinks lol
Would love the show to be about Jacob not the drunks in his life.
She’s replaced drinking with vaping! Vaping is a sure killer as well!
I had 2 friends who died at young ages from vaping, as well as 3 who died in their 50’s from cigarettes! I miss all 5 friends and relatives!!!
Everyone should stop smoking, vaping & drinking, Please! 🙏🙏🙏
Please realizethat Dads have a stressful time raising children as well as Moms. They work hard and long. They try to have family time. They worry about the future. They have their dhare of stress with family life. 😊
