my mom is a drunk

she does this maybe like at lesast 5 times a month

Have you tried talking to her and telling her how worried you are about and also it makes you angry? Plus, how often does she drink like this? If you can’t talk to her, try your counselor at school or even Al-Anon for kids with parents who drink?

My mother is the same always drinking bottles of white wine like twice a week and I’ve tried everything from smashing the wine the minute it comes into the house to telling her to stop for my sake and that I didn’t feel comfortable living in my own home but it didn’t stop her from drinking in fact she’s downstairs drinking right now and listening to music getting wasted…and its me who is going to have to get her to bed…ah well my plan is to move out get my own apartment and get the hell out and live my life and be happy instead of always having to look after my mother I suggest you do the same..get out and don’t let her burden you with her stupid addiction leave and enjoy your life for god sakes!!I would never join Ala-teen though because I would like to go through life without having seen any of that crap there not going to stop your mother from drinking and they will just magnify the problem and make it worse!!anyway I’m sorry that we have to be burdened with our parents problems just cause they abuse drink

I wish I wish my mommy won’t get drunk it hurt me a lot

some one help me please need some add vice ma mum is drunk what can I do to sober her up plzz

my mum is driking know tried to tell her to stop but she keeps saying words I dont know she is getting on ma nerves my sis has gone out because it is her birthday with her boyfriend she is 21 so I am left alone wiv drunk mum she will probly fall a sleep and leave me but im 18 so I am okay wiv thatxx

this is the first time my moms gotten drunk like this. on new years eve, its like fantastic… she yells at me to leave her alone, get out, and how she hates me. but I stay anyway. she grabbed a knife, trying to hurt herself and I had to fight it away from her. I tried hiding the alcohol… that didnt work out so well, she just banged on my bedroom door and threatened to kill herself if I didnt give her the bottle of dry gin.. this hurt me so much, all of it. to make it worse its just me and my mom. and during things like this, everything is up to me. its so hard. but I try to be strong for the both of us, because I know sometimes she cant be.

I guess just always be there for your mom, even though it does hurt to see her like that. what she may say to you, the hurtful things, dont think about it so much. take care of her because she cant herself while being drunk. tell someone, and tell her how you feel when shes sober.

omg my mom is the same way…I moved out but I still have to come home for the holidays and deal with her. She’s a mean, evil resentful drunk too, so she continues to yell & bark at me, threatening me & telling me that she wishes I would kill myself or leave or something. The sad thing is, when she’s sober, she’s my best friend & my favorite person, but when she’s drunk (usually at night) I don’t know a thing about her. I never have learned how to deal, only cope. I just count the days until I go back to school now, but in high school & middle school…I think I just cried & prayed a LOT. Ended up leaving home & wandering the city many nights as well because I couldn’t stay in the house with her being so cruel. Then, in the morning she’ll act as if nothing happened. Just, focus on growing up, moving out & keeping a distanced relationship w/ your mom. Things will get easier in time.

I’m currently going through this with my mother. I don’t see how they think this is okay, to make the children the adults.

I found a book that has really helped me realize this isn’t my fault and that I will never be able to change my parent, just deal with her on a day to say basis until I can get out. It is called Toxic Parents, by Susan Forward.

Really, please read this. I’m not one for self-help books, but she speaks the truth and she knows exactly what your situation is and will give you solid advice on how to handle tough situations.

In the end, you must remember: ‘Who is the person that I can depend on every day?’ The answer: Yourself. Stay strong.

my mom has the same kinda problem.. but its more frequent.. I hate it soo much.. I dont even have a mom any more.. cause shes drunk all the time.. I wanna move out but she has a power hold on me I swear.. its like a power trip

Talk to al-a-teen - they are a counselling service for teens who have a close contact who is or may be an alcoholic. Also, talk to your Mom. She may be having problems that you don’t know about. She might not share them, but then again, she might. Good luck!

Ala-teen - DEFINITELY.Call Alcoholics Anonymous, explain your situation and join ala-teen. It’s for teens who are a child or friend of an alcoholic.

Dr. Drew of Loveline (and other several shows) says that the BEST chance of getting an alcoholic to deal with their disease, is for the loved ones to join Ala-teen or Al-anon, get their own sponsor, and follow the steps.

I’m so sorry that your Mom has this problem. It’s not fair to you, but by joining you will find some hope. Good Luck!!
