My mom is an alcoholic

It is so bad tell me situation in detail. I will help with my Astrological readings...

Hey don't sweat it I have been there and done that with my parents and it's not your fault for their drinking. That is why you or the preacher won't be able to stop someone from drinking if they don't want to and that is the honest truth. A person who puts drinking before everything else is screaming for attention but just does not know how to receive it. Their brain is so screwed up that they will blame anyone and lie, cheat, and steal to get that bottle. I mean it is a destructive path from there on and if they don't get into a detox program or rehab center and keep going to AA meetings, etc. It has to be them and no intervention is going to turn things around until they take that first step. It is not easy to be abused by a parent or loved one as it made you feel terrible and helpless! I do hope that the treatment and support is there becuse after all it is not the person but the poison that is causing her to act out this way, so be there for her but don't smother her or keep reminding becuse it only makes it worse. They have to admit that they are powerless and need help from someone professionally and rely on a higher power to be their guide. I do hope that this helps a little and don't ever give up hope! P.S. You and your family members can get involved in study groups, AA Fact on your part, and researching everything you can do to be a support system but not an enabler.

Are you willing to cut ties from your mother? Her actions are endangering you, and if you would be willing to be moved into a more stable home, you could call the department of family services and have another close friend or family member vouch for you. But because you're a minor, this could put you and your brother into foster care if this happens.

If you don't want that to happen, I would find a very close friend or another family member to stay with while she checks herself into rehab. Either way, you need to get yourself into a better home.

Your Mom needs help. You can contact alanon for yourself. They have great programs for children of alcoholic parents. I hate that you have to go through this. It does seem that you are willing to talk about it though, and that means you are healthy and not in denial about your Mom. Have you sat your Mom down and talked to her one on one about her drinking? It sounds like her boyfriend is a loser.. Poor kitty! Maybe you should call your Dad and talk to him if you can. I will saay a prayer for you because I know this is a hard time for you in your life. Good luck!

I dealt with the same problem. When mom got drunk, she really beat my ass, called me names, and just kept beating me. First, do you have anyone else in your family you can turn to. Call child services. Report her for abuse. She won't go to jail. They will let you stay somewhere else. Other then that just leave or get her some help. Try counseling, or god. My mom is still on that stuff, and my dad is too and haven't seen him in years, I'm only 18, and when counseling didn't work, I had to find a way out.

OK this is definetely a tough situation to be in but, you need to be prepared when you talk to her. Do you have any family members close by that would be willing to help you with an intervention? You need to round up the family and confront her situation. Make her see what she is like when she is drinking. If you have a video camera or tape recorder to tape what she says and does while she is drunk, do it and show her when she is sober what it is really like to live with her habit. I am afraid the only way you can change your situation is if she is willing to take responsibility and fix this for herself. Round up some family members who are willing to help to come and talk to her with you. As many people as you can get to make her see her problem is good. Line up a place to stay for a while in case it gets bad. Remember, as hard as this is for you, you need to be there for her. She will only change when she is ready. If she is never ready, than start to go on with a life you can be proud of and hopefully she will get better to see your accomplishments. I wish you the best.
