Sorry, but I have to ask the necessary question: When your mom is intoxicated, does she ever hit, threaten, or verbally abuse you? If so, you need to get help immediately.

My dad was alcoholic and drug addict, maybe not as severe as your situation, but I know that feeling. The worse thing to see is the person who is suppose to provide for you not provide for themselves. I’m not a psychiatrist, I don’t know how to help. The only thing I can offer is that your mom cares about you. Children are the most important thing to their parents. I’m over-generalizing, but if it’s true then you will know that it is true. It was YEARS before I got up the courage to tell my dad to stop. For YEARS I had to listen to my parents fighting until the middle of the night about my dad getting high; my mom hated it more than anything. My dad never had to go to AA, that’s why I say it wasn’t that bad, but I can recognize high, and I haven’t seen or smelled it on him since last Christmas. Yeah, I know. My dad was high on Christmas; it was horrible and my mom ended up kicking him out for a few days. But it’s always darkest before the dawn. Remember that.

What I mean is that you have power, because your parents love you. Your mom, no matter how much she drinks, does not want to drink, deep down inside, and it’s up to you to help her. And make sure that you are heard.

Also, if you have any siblings, if they are younger, explain this to them too.

You are right. Trust yourself. I was ten when my dad died, then mum turned to alcohol. There was alot of fighting with another man in the house at that time. I would drag her off the floor and into bed. I would water down the wisky. I though I was in hell, and I was alone, with no siblings.

Now I am 31. Trust yourself. Today, after many many difficulties I am slowily learning what is important in life. To not fear love. Love your parents the way you want to be loved. Tell them you love them. Tell them what is right and wrong. Dont worry about how you sound, to them or anyone. Take controll no matter how young or unable you think you might be. Be number one.

If all else fails. Leave. Be carefull, be your own parent. Be carefull of others who will want to use you. And above all else dont be afraid to love. Then dream, and never give up, never look back, never be afraid, but be carefull. People may knock you down over and over again. People will tell you you can’t do what you dream. Walk by them with a kind smile.

Never give up, shelter inside yourself if you have to. You are loved.
