How Do I Get Over the Fact That My Mom Is an Alcoholic?
Question by ~*~Lacey~*~: How do I get over the fact that my mom is an alcoholic?
My mom is an alcoholic and is always putting me and my sister down, and yelling at us for nothing, cause she says that we’re wrong and we’re bad people and curses at us and stuff like that. I hate getting upset when I know I didn’t do anything wrong, and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want her problems to affect my life, and I don’t want to end up like her when I’m older. How do I get over it?

first you should talk to your mom, and tell her how you feel about her….second if that doesnt work, talk to other family members like your father or your grandmother from your mom side or your aunt, make sure you talk to them about your mom being alcoholic and that you are scared for her and for yourself…the most important thing is you talk to someone else about it because you dont want to regret not doing it when something bad happens, which according to your situation, there is a high chance for that to happen that can affect you and your brother/sister

The fact is you can’t “get over” this, until she limits her alcohol or leaves it forever. The fact is that you must face the situation to get over it. I am not sure where your father is in this picture, but you need to contact him or your grandma/grandpa, anyone from your close family to get involved and get your mother some help. If you can’t get your family, get your neighbors or friend’s family involved. They should help get your mom back on track. During her “recovery” she may be moody, so have patience and give her lots of love because that what she will need the most.
Hope it helps!
i think you should try to talk to a family member about this and try to move out. im sorry you have to put up with this
Depends on your age! Try reaching out to some close relative(s), alone. They may be already aware of your mother’s drinking problems. Yelling at her children and getting angry ‘and stuff like that’, doesn’t make her an alcoholic, does it? Have you no father to talk to?
Lacey,
Real answer . . . This is her problem and the excuse that Mommy drinks cause you cry . . .won’t cut it. Her demons, her poor choice to deal with it. As for you . . Al-anon or Ala-teen . . both have support for folks who parents drink too much, they can get you to a group and even work on counseling.
But here’s the real rub . . . . You are you. You have lived there and experienced EXACTLY what too much can result in. It is yours, so own it … learn from it .. never forget what too much can do to a family, the hardship and hurt feelings it can cause. This is your life lesson .. never forgetting it .. means you will never be that !
If Dad or another family member (who’s sober) is there speak with them about getting help for you and your sister . . if not . . contact your local Child Welfare Agency . .they can coordinate getting you the help you need.
Don’t Not Do Something . . . . You see the problem, now help fix it for you and your sister.
Congrats on asking for help and Growing up . . .
