my mom
thanks for the advice but my mom has been to those type of supprt groups and well you see what happened i know i should be tolerant but i can't be her only friend you know. i need a life to. i'm stuck and i don't know howto handle it. i'm tired of having to deal wtih all her crap even when she isn't drinking she is way to overbearing and i don't know how much longer i can take it i love her to death but she trys to keep me all to her self and it can't be that anymore i guess what i was trying to ask is ow can i get her to meet people and befirend thelm instead of pushing them away like she usually does because i want to live a normal teenage life not one stuck in a tiny 2 bedroom apartment until god knows when.

Well, for your own sake, I would still suggest al-anon, or ala-teen. It would be good for you, and it would help you love and tolerate your mom, as well as be patient with her. Try not to make her feel bad about not letting you out, but just tell her that she's raised you into a wonderful person and that you want to be able to share your endearing qualities with people outside of home. Tell her that you have friends, and they wish you could hang out. Don't guilt trip her into it, because alcoholics can be very different people when they're drunk, or sober even. Try to approach her at her best, preferably when she's sober. I know my mother is better once she's had a drink, easier to talk to. But if you approach your mom when she's sober maybe she'll understand that you mean business. If you want her to get out more, take her places. It sounds weird, but take her to a movie, go grocery shopping together, treat her like a friend, give her suggestions, if you guys are so close, she should listen to you. You're not out of options, you just have to be compassionate, and be patient before you see any sort of gratuity from your mother. I wish you the best hun, do stay in touch. ~Love Angel
