Well, that's a tricky one. Well, I'd start by saying you know, this isn't really fair to me because this girl is my best friend and I really want her to stay that way. If that doesn't work, see if you can possibly can hang at the mall or outside your houses. You can have your mom bring you there and back and her mom bring her there and back. Remember to tell her that it's not your friend that's the problem, it's her mom. And it's totally out of her control.
Hope it all works out!

Well, it's not your friend's fault that her mother has an alcohol problem, and your mother needs to understand that. Try to sit down and have a mature (as in NO yelling) conversation with your mother, and explain to her that while you understand her reasons for wanting you to be away from that type of environment, but you really want to be able to hang out with your friend. Ask your mom if the two of you can work out some sort of compromise -- where you get to hang out with your friend, but you never have to be in a situation where you're around her mother's alcoholism. Suggest that your friend come over twice a week for a few hours, or that your mom take the two of you to a movie or ice skating or something, once a week. Hopefully your mother will realize that your friend's mom isn't your friend's problem -- or yours, for that matter, and hopefully she'll give in to some sort of contact between the two of you.
