My mother's borderlining alcoholism...

[Anne.Frank]

How can I help her? I've tried it all. She just don't see the problem. Keep saying: "I don't work tomorrow, that's why I can drink alone on a tuesday", "I'm done working for the day, that's why I can get drunk", "You're an alcoholic, not me" (Even though I drink occassionally a few times a year).

Help me, help her. It's a very troublesome tension in our house...

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Drink with her so she's not drinking alone - then she's not an alcoholic.

Is that supposed to be funny? I want help not silly inputs. So rude and disrespectful!

There are trained proffesionals that can help you with your mom's problem. I've been through similar situation and I know it sucks, but once you start seeing results you'll be so happy.

Seek out a drug/alcohol counsler. You won't regret it.

I say you get drunk with her and then tell us the weird drunken stories you two will have as a result.

[KellyGleason]

Definitely start an intervention. There are counselors for problems like these, and they'll help her through it step by step. She may seem upset that you did this to her, but, she'll thank you in the end. Almost all alcoholics will deny they have a problem, usually to mask its seriousness. I recommend getting her professional help. Even though she's your mother, the situation will be better off in the hands of someone who helps alcoholics for a living.
Good luck! I hope she gets better soon!

seeing as you're in australia, put some shrimp on the barbie, get some foster's... and have a heart-to-heart over the soothing melodies of the didgeridoo.

OK. I see you need some real help here, so I am not going to be a jackass and be rude. First off, have you tried anal? Secondly, have you considered sleeping with her? That could really help. In my own experience dealing with my mother, when she got scared, she said, "You're moving with you Auntie and Uncle in Bell-Aire." I whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the liscense plate said 'Fresh' and it had dice in the mirror. If anything, I could say this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. 'Yo homes to Bell-Aire.'"

I'm surprised anal hasn't been suggested yet.

I get drunk with your mom. I usually end up whispering in her ear about how beautiful she is for a redneck woman and then we have sex with our socks on while watching NASCAR. Yeehaw!

[xpunkyx]

My mom has an alcohol problem. Been in and out of rehab 5 times in the past 5 years.

I don't talk to her anymore.

[Vanity__Dearest]

How is your mother alive when you are 78? Christ. If you were my daughter, I'd be an alcoholic too.

[Chancetobe]

Some of you guys are assholes. And your jokes arn't all that funny. Grow up people. Alchoholism is serious. It's one thing if the original poster is some retarded bitch who can't type and has a stupid problem, but when someone actually needs help with something serious, you should be respectful.

First off, tell your mother how you feel. If this conversation doesn't make her stop, then intervene. Get her going to AA meetings or rehab if she really needs it. Like someone else said, eventually, she will thank you, even if the relationship is rocky for a bit.

[HavaBanana]

Get her to go to AA meetings. Go with her if thats what it takes, those meetings are helpful...but sometimes awkward. Trust me...if she cares then she will stop and I'm sure deep down she cares.
OR (not in a joking manner)

Have one of your friends call her one night and tell her that you were in a terrible car crash because you were drinking.

If she refuses intervention then maybe you can just scare the shit out of her with her own addiction.




But....I think a solution will arise naturally. Good luck.

jesus christ anne frank, quit posting pointless threads to get posts. i dont give a shit about you mom!

I would, but I'm so afraid that my mom will hate me forever :S

I don't think I have the guts to do such a thing behind her back. She'll get mad forever

Sorry to hear that :S

These things are so hard! There should be manuals for teenagers with parental problems.

That sounds a tad too strong for my taste. Thank anyway =)

How can you say it's pointless just because it's not about My chemical Romance or shit that you listens to? Awful human.

[hypa_dude]

My brother loves me as much as he did before, if not more. I had that same fear. Now I only wish I had done what I did sooner.

I didn't do anything until after I saw my brother in the hopsital. It could have been alot worse. Please don't wait for that to happen.

[buysoap]

:yawn:

i dont listen to things like my chemical romance. looking at your picture it looks like youre the one who listens to mcr. jesus, your quote says white shadows darken me. wow i wouldnt be saying things like that when you probably stood in line for the black parade with a t-shirt on that says mcr saved my life! sorry im an awful human? its really anooying when you just come here and ive seen at least 4 or 5 threads by you. some threads are pointless like this one when its made by someone who just wants posts or people to feel sorry for them. seriously just shut the fuck up about your problems online. its common sense. heres your answer for your drunk of a mother: 1. get some help from her friends or family not online people you dont know. 2. have an intervention. 3. take away anything that reminds her of alcohol. 4. just talk to her about it 1 on 1. its not that hard to do. god someone really needs to anne frank your ass.
