mom has some drinking problems

[Zach_L]

so ever since i was little my mom has had a drinking problem. she has gone to rehab, lost her license, and even lost me for a good 2 maybe 2 and a half years, and she doesnt stop. no matter what happens she still does it, and it isnt like shes fine when she does it, she acts 100% different, she tuns into a really mean person and becomes aggressive and stuff. i dont know what to do, we have tried consoling and everything. my dad says i should stay away from her for a while. another things is, she tries to blame it on me saying that she drinks because she is depressed that she doesnt see me enough and stuff like that, and i told her that i dont want to see her a lot because of everything she has done. she has ruined a lot for me, when i think of my mom it is just all the bad times that we have spent fighting because of her problem. what should i do?

Hey buddy.

I know what you're going through. Although she never lost me, my mother was an alcoholic. It sucks. Have you ever sat her down WHEN SHE WAS SOBER and talked to her about drinking? I mean, if it really hurts you as much as you are saying, then she should understand.

i have tried to, she is good for a while then messes up again, right when everything seems to get back on track, it's periodically, and it is bothering me a lot and i am starting to feel like i just want nothing to do with her

Well, it sounds to me that this is quite extreme. You might want to consider either threatening to leave, or get an intervention, which might also contain leaving.

Sit down with her and have a calm, serious talk. My dad was a minor alcoholic when I was younger, and my mom talked to him about it, and he quit drinking so much. Now he's the nicest person i know.

This is a sad story. When you can see your mom is sober and enjoying herself try to talk to her with your dad. Glad nothing like this has happened to me...
