my mom pretty much comes home every night drunk. Not really drunk, but she's wild and loud. Everytime I mention this to her when shes sober, she yells and me and tells me to shut up because she says it's not true. I hate every night because I always expect my mom to come home like this and it's really annoying. I understand she's an adult and can do whatever she wants but i can't stand her like this, being really rowdy. She also grounded me for a week because i stayed home from school tuesday. I want to go to the doctors because I think I have a sleeping disorder but my mom thinks im fine and I never have anything wrong with me. So I guess my questions are, what can I do about my mom, and how can I find out if I have a sleeping disorder or not without going to the doctors? thank you.

xsweet_pea_10 answered Saturday March 18 2006, 6:12 pm: I know what your talking about this use to happen to me to. Well since you hate your mom like this and shes like it every night then shes probly and alcholic. When your moms sober or in the morning talk to her about it. Sit down and say you have to talk to her about something important. Tell her how you feel about her going out everynight and if you feel on comfterble talking to her about it write it down and set it on her dresser. If she doesnt change and continues to go out every night tell her about Narcotics Anonymous, NA. NA is for people who are addicted to drugs or alchol and it really works. Tell her that you love her and you really want to help her and that it upsets you when she goes out. Ok about your sleeping dissorder, your probly having troble sleeping becuase your worried and upset it happened to me 2 just wait a while and see what happens. I hope it works out between you and your mom.
barreldreamer101 answered Saturday March 18 2006, 11:55 am: Well heres my advise i would go to your mom when she is not drunk or has been drinking that could make things worse! You should talk to her in like the morning when you first get up and then just easilly start talking about your relationship and then tell her mom i dont like it when you come home drunck every night and also you should tell her its not good for you to drink as much as you do or maybe you should tell her that she should see a specillest and try talking about her problumes with another responsible adult and not take it out on drinking and if t is really serious of a problume then i think you should tell someonelike a guidence councler at school i know you love your mom but some times love is showen threw help!
isis answered Saturday March 18 2006, 5:48 am: It sounds like your mom is very unhappy and is trying to mask it with trying to have a good time and drinking too much. You need to talk to someone who can help you, a school councillor, teacher, father or another adult relative, preferably someone your mom will listen to. Sometimes when people are drinking too much they have to hit rock bottom before they will acknowledge they have a problem and your mom shouting at you is her being defensive. She just doesn't want to admit she has a problem yet. Your sleep problems are more likely related to your concern about her. You need to relax to be able to sleep and how can you do that when you're constantly worried about your mom? If there is another relative you can stay with for a while and gently explain to your mom why you're having to move out for a while, this may help her to come to terms with what she is doing. There is also a branch of AA which helps relatives so give them a try? Best of luck honey, you sound strong enough to be able to get through this, just wait for your mom to catch up.

cjAdvice answered Saturday March 18 2006, 1:03 am: well, im not shure about the sleeping disorder, but i do know what you can do about your mom. If you have a school counciler, go and talk to them... i know it seems a bit odd, or scary, thats the same way i felt when i had to go because of my mom getting drunk. but it actually heps =]. allso, if you go and live with another family member, it could do you wonders =D i went to go live with my dad. and actually, your mom comming home drunk all the time could be the reasoning of your sleeping issues. so if you went to live with someone else, you probably could sleep better! hope this helps you!
