Alcoholic Mother…help?
September 7th, 2010
I don’t know why I am doing this. Just thinking that this might help a little. I have an alcoholic mother, and my dad has a busy job and is often gone for 3 days every month or so. Also I have a sister who is in college. I am home with her, and my dad a lot, and I am tired of it and don’t know what to do. We have done an intervention, but it only made things worse. I really don’t like being around her, because I never know what is going to happen. I wish that I had a normal life like other kids, and didn’t have to deal with these added things. I have learned to care for myself early, and i don’t know. I also wish that I could have a girlfriend, and be able to actually show my parents my friends, instead I have to go to other people’s houses to have to do stuff. idk…..just needed to get it all out there, as I have bottled it in pretending that nothing is wrong, and now I have realized that stuff IS wrong and now I don’t know what to do….
She is not abusive, other than verbal, its just scary to be around her, because you never know if she will start being abusive.
call cps if you dont want to be there anymore
they can put you with a relative and help straighten her out
tell your counseler or something
I grew up with an alcoholic father.He was abusive and very hard to live with and I too never had friends over out of embarassment. I thought I would never get through school and boys were out of the question. I was lost and withdrawn. Mom found out AA has support groups for families Al-Anon and teens called Alateen. It helped me alot. I’m an adult now with kids of my own. My parents now divorced and my Dad still an Alcoholic. We stiil all get together as a family for the Holidays and I will always Love my Dad for who he is and not what he does. I hope things get better,best of luck. Keep sharing and keep smiling.
