What terrifying confession has someone told you while drunk?

My mum is an alcoholic and drama always happens. On this particular night I'd gone out to the car she was sat in and retrieved the medicine box from her as she was threatening to overdose (a regular threat) She followed me into the house saying usual horrible drunken stuff and I said to her she needed to grow the fuck up and I was sick of this crap. She then nastily turned to me and said she was like this because my grandad molested her until she moved out.

I still don't know if it's true. I love my grandad and I've just tried to block this out over the last 11 years. He's always said hitting children is wrong, I've never felt unsafe around him and my mum used to regularly send us to stay at his when she went away. I want to believe it's not true.

It's fucked me up because either it is true and she fucking sent us to stay with someone who abused her so that she could go on holiday or it's not true and she fucked up my relationship with my grandad for a long time and I just suddenly stopped talking to him or seeing him for a few years without explanation which I know upset him. I hate not knowing but don't want to know if that makes sense.
