Family can't get along!

Does anyone feel like they are the parent and there parent is the child? I am 29 and my mother drinks. When she drinks she acts immature and I have to act like her mom. If you have any polite advice please help. I’ve tried to get her to go AA meetings but she doesn’t think she has a problem.

Answer #1

I have the exact same problem. I feel like the mother a lot with my mum. I’m always telling her off! My mum also drinks quite a lot. I have told her to get help but she says she does not need it.

You need to sit down and have a long hard chat with her. Tell her how you feel, tell her you want your children to be able to grow up around there grandma. Tell her that she can not continue along down this path- it could lead to serious problems, diseases and even death. Tell her how much you appreciate her and what the best for her. You just have to make sure she realises you are doing ti for her sake. good luck

Answer #2

I would just suggest to leave her alone it is NOT your JOB to take care of her! shes is the mother and she needs to figure these out for herself! shes old enough to know if she has a drinking problem and it sounds like she does! but really it isnt your job to take care of her
