Im sorry. I really am. My mom is an alcoholic also. I know from first hand experience how hard it is to deal with. I have a younger brother, and my dad doesnt live with us. If you have a close family member, calling them and telling them the situation usually helps. I have tried talking to my mom about not drinking, she gets defensive and it usually makes her drink more. So i would say dont try to talk to her about it. I have learned how to take care of my brother and myself without my mothers help. For me the hardest part about having an alcoholic parent is that when they have to drive you places, or when they are with your friends. I know it is very very hard to live with. Im not sure what to tell you what to do, because i havent figured that out yet either. You will get through it. Just remember that, and remember when you are older, dont drink. I will never drink, because alcoholism runs in the family, and i am damn scared to have it. I dont want to put my family through anything like i had to go through. And you wouldnt want your family to have to go through what you are going through now. Goodluck. Talking to friends and family helps. I hope everything works out. It will eventually be over, just pull through.
