Worried about my aunt.
For as long as I can remember, my aunt has always been an alcoholic. My family has stopped being in contact with her because she has caused many problems with my family in the past. There are days she will drink so much she'll pass out and other days she'll become extreamly violent. I never see her anymore and yet I'm worried about her. I'm more so worried about my 10 year old cousin (her daughter). My aunt has been on and off with drinking. Before I was born it was really bad. My mother told me that it was because she was in love with this guy but he was Chinese and his parent's didn't want him to marry a woman of another race so they had to end their relationship. That was nearly 30 years ago. I fear for my aunt. Although I do not have a close relationship with her, let alone any relationship with her at all, regardless she is family and I'm scared she is going to take things too far and hurt herself or someone else. I need to find her help. My mother and my other aunt have been trying to find places to take her but every place said that they needed more information about her problems. We really don't know at all why she is the way that she is. Her husband isn't any help at all. He just sits his fat ass on the couch with a beer in one hand and the TV remote in the other. Their house is a terrible mess and a person living on the streets would be too disgusted to even live there. They have a 10 almost 11 year old daughter and they do take care of her, and as a matter of fact, she's a spoiled brat. I'm still worried because the environment she is living in is in no way healthy for her. I don't know what to do. My family doesn't know what to do. I need to find her help but we can't find any place for her. Please, please, help. I apologize for the length of this question.

well i know shes family but i think it mght be good to call the police and take care of your cousin for her because she can't be going home to her daughter drunk. she could abuse her or sumthing. you either need to go to the police or keep looking for a place for her.

Ok calm down, i would just keep searching for places in your area to get her help, and if all else fails just sit your aunt, your cousin, and your uncle down at a table and talk to them, tell her that she needs to choose. Either her daughter or her alchol problem..try to make her understand that she is risking everything that she has built and that social suvices can easly take her daughter away and put her in a menta house. Ask her if she would rather try to stop or be in an enviroment where she has nothing. I hope i helped. =) xOx tory <3

okay in the past you have tried to send her to places to have help and they say they need more information about her problem. thats really their job is to find out whats wrong and fix it. but maybe you should ahve you mother and aunts think about some thing that may have happened in the past or maybe something tragic happening that may have caused her drinking problem and violent behavior. maybe it was that relationship 30 years ago. you should try and talk to your aunt when she's not drunk. maybe she could at least tell you some sort of information that can help you to help her. good luck. and i hoped i helped a little.
