My father is/was an alcoholic and I am a 21 year old college student. There is nothing you can do about it. The change must come from within them. I feel for you but don't let them get you down. Due to your young age you cannot move out but will have to rough it out for the next few years.



It's taken a toll on me emotionally over the years...but it's great. You know why? Because my goal is to be a therapist one day and work with children whom are the victims of alcoholic parents whom are neglectful of their own children, which results in the children not recieving hardly any guidance in life. The more crap you go through, the better psychologist you will be.



Maybe you should be a psychologist



:)





Take care.



STOP BEATING YOURSELF UP.



-ShayneHow do deal with an alcoholic mother?
try and get her when shes sober, and talk to her about it, try and get her to go to alcoholic meetings



remember the 1st step to recovery is admitting she has a problem in the 1st place.
You need to speak with someone like a school counselor who can listen and offer you places you can go locally to get help. There are also plenty of helpful sites on the web like: http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/fam

Please get help as soon as possible so things don't continue to get worse. Best of luck to you.
I would dial 611 and get family crisis center involved. If she is smashed, she is a threat to you.

Please call. Good luck.
What about your Dad? Any possible help there? What about a school counselor? While trying to rationalize with her might seem an option, people who have problems such as hers will not be able to rationalize how you feel. The alcohol is a cover for a deeper issue your mother is dealing with and you my dear are the target. Has nothing to do with you however it is not fair to you. If you really want to help her then call child protective services while she is doing what she is doing.....the police will only be helpful if you are in harms way on an immediate capacity. But child protective services will be your best way to possibly get her to get help. My heart goes out to you, be strong and best of luck.
Go to ALANON or ALATEEN they will show you how, it is a free support group, you will find a support group of others in your situation. They are in the phone book in most towns, you call and they will most likely be there to pick you up.
What is driving her to alcoholism? Try to determine that...get her occupied with work...get her to do more and occupied so she doesn't think of the booze...find a way way to let her make money for the house...



Confide with a counceler and see the route you can take...



Life will be hell for you so you need to be string and hold out...the reality is that you can make the difference...



All the best...
google alateen and get info and try to get to a meeting...this is a support group for YOU...to help YOU deal with the flip side of her addiction...



i would talk with her heart to heart in a very calm manner but only when she is NOT under the influence...encourage her to get help in a gentle loving manner and not in an offensive way letting you know you love her but that you are hurting because of this....



find someone (an adult) that you trust and that is willing to help and not just be judgemental...if she is drinking that much she is miserable with her self and she must realize the risk she is at with her children...alateen is a great start....they at least can give you some resources to help YOU and HER if she is ready and willing....



i hope things improve...
personally, i have an alcoholic mother too when i was 13. the best thing you can do is actually ask for counseling in your school im sure every school has it and talk to your relatives about it, (: all the best dear
steal the booze and go to parties
I would list this under Family and Relationships. You will get more help there.
