Families & Friends Of Addicts Support Group

You should seek out a support group right now. Alanon would be good. And as a daughter of an alcoholic myself I suggest that you focus on bettering yourself and securing your future so when you are old enough you can move out. You cannot stop your Mom from drinking, only she can help herself. This is not your fault. I am surprised your Dad left you to deal with it on your own. His first priority should be making sure that you are in a stable and loving environment. This is very hard, I know. Just try to love yourself and always rmember that "you cannot change her, this is out of your control". If there is a family member you can trust, please seek them out. Please try be stay strong, you will get through this. You can contact me whenever you like!

I am also a daughter of an alcoholic and to tell you the truth, the emotional abuse kills. i get it from both my alcoholic and sober parent. I have been attending alateen which has really helped me, but sometimes i just cant handle it anymore. i get so tired things just fall apart! just hang in there, you can stop them from drinking only they can do that, but your in my prayers i know what your going through. stay strong stay alive!

I have been in your shoes before, my mother was too an alcoholic. She used to do the exact same things that you described and I was basically her parent and my sisters before I was 13 years old. The advice that I can give you is that if you really are at you wits end and can't think of any reasons to stay, then try to stay with a friend for a while. Do not run away or anything, but I left my mother for three months and lived with my best friend and her parents when I was 17 and my mother finally woke up and realized that she neededd help because no matter what I was always going to be her daughter and that was more important than alcohol. Hopefully this helps, and if you need to talk you can message me.

i know how you feel. my moms an alcoholic. im ashamed of my home and mother so i cant bring any friends over either. she gets drunk and starts saying these horrible lies about me. if you want to talk im here.
