My MOM????!!!!! SHE HAS AN ALCOHOL PROBLEM?!?!?!?
August 31st, 2010
i really dont kno what to do anymore. see my mom has a drinking problem for about as long as i can remember. i recall alot of times when i was little when she would get mad at me for the stupidest things like not closing the door, not finishing my juice, entering the room, telling her i was sleepy, ect. i mean she would try to watch movies or listen to music and we would talk and make jokes. things would be ok. until the tequila, or wine would have an effect on her. then she would get mes at me or i would get mad at her for drinking and she would tell me to leave her alone. i would. but ever since about 3 years ago her drinking has gotten worse. she calls me a b*tch she starts cussing me out. and when shes sober i try to explain to her that what she is doing is wrong and that she needs help. she gets sad and then cries and says “im sorry…i do need help. i promise i will stop drinking” and she never does. when i know she has alcohol i come downstairs to check up on her or my 4 year old sister comes upstairs crying cuz she thinks moms dead. i come downstairs and shes knocked out cold on the table. and i have to take care of my sister.and then in the morning i cant go to school because my moms still knocked out and i cant leave my sister by herself. things have just gotten real bad i mean on thanksgiving my mom got drunk and we couldn’t go to my grandparents house for thanksgiving. so we stayed home. my mom kept going to bother me about the stupidest things like saying im tired or where is the f*ckin remote. stupid things like that i kept telling her to leave me alone that i was sleepy( it was 4:00 am) and she wouldn’t leave me alone so i locked my door and she got violent. she slammed and kicked the door and she started cussing at me tellin me b*tch open the motherf*ckin door before i get in there and beat the sh*tt outta you and she went to go get the hammer she started chopping at my door and broke the handle she was drunk and i didnt know what she was capable of i thought she might have killed me . i started crying and telling her to leave me alone to stop and she said “what u gunna do call the cops? call them im not scared of those motherf*ckers! call them!”and the police came came three times(the neighbors called) that night was one of the worst and this isnt the first time something like this happens. im angry and sad because there’s not a damn thing i can do about it. i dont know what to do anymore PLS HELPPPPP!!!!!!

All i can tell you is that you really need to find a place where you can take you and your sister you really need to get out of that life call the cops and tell them you don’t wanna live with your mom anymore because… and tell them why i gaurentee you they will do something
hope this helps and good luck
Where are your dad and grandparents in all of this? You need to be talking to them.
Tell them that you and your sister are in danger because your mom becomes both physically and verbally abusive when she gets drunk, which is every night.
Alcohol is a depressant and your mom is already depressed. She really needs an intervention.
If your grandparents won’t step up to take custody of you and your sister, so your mom can get herself straight, then you need to talk to the counselor at your school to see what else can be done. Don’t stop asking for help.
well sweetie sounds like you need to keep telling people this until someone listens to you! i grew up with parents that drank all the time, they weren’t like this but they were gone all the time and when they did come home i got spanked for no reason what so ever.
go to school and let them know, call you grandparents , call your dad if he is close, tell your teacher, tell anyone that will listen, your mom needs help and she wont get it till she hits her bottom! that maybe when your and baby sister are taken from her. i know that you love her but she needs to help herself before she can be a good mom to you.
i will pray for you and your sister and for you mom to get the help she needs.
Alcoholics Anonymous is a world wide organisation.
It is in the phone book under that name or AA. Each group has a sub group for people affected by problem drinkers.
One group is AL ANON for families and friends of alcoholics. Sometimes there is an Al a teen group for teenagers.
Call the number and talk about your problem. They will help and you do not use your name if you do not want to.
Take the first step to help yourself, your sister and your mother.
Good Luck
