Posted Jul 15th, 2007 at 7:28AM I have experienced exactly what you are going through and I know how torn you are. YOU must start taking care of yourself. First go to http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/english.html. Find a meeting and then you can begin to start understanding what is going on. I know your fearful of losing your mother but right now she's lost and she needs help. The hardest thing to realize is that YOU cannot help her, it is beyond your abilities. She can only receive help from the outside and she will only accept help when she is ready. The hardest part is she may never be ready to accept help. So now you need to take care of yourself and start your life. Good luck. | |
Posted Jul 31st, 2007 at 9:02PM Hi, i am alot older than you, and my mother was an alcoholic also. My sisters and i totally lost our childhood. I am 63 years old and rememember one of many incidents involving my mom. My mother came to my school class, i was in the 6th grade, she was totally drunk wearing a bright green sweater and her jeans were rolled up,she looked awful. She was bringing my lunch money anyway my legs were shaking so bad i wanted to run out of the class, but my legs could not move, after my mom left the room i sat with my head down on my desk. I am in counciling and belong to an adult child of alcoholics group. i encorage you to get involved in a support group, also some good reading codependent no more by melody beatty. Please feel free if you need to talk i am here. | |
Posted Jan 2nd, 2009 at 12:31AM Hello, I am sorry that you are going through this torture. I am a recovered alcoholic for the past 12 years. I nearly killed myself with alcohol in 1996. By the grace of my father in heaven I made it here today to testify. There is hope and I want you to know that none of this is your fault. It is just so sad that alcoholism can be so devastating to so many people. Are you going to any Alanon meetings. That would be a great place to start for support. You will get thr tools to cope and recover yourself from the agony you are going through. I just want to say a quick prayer for you and your mother. God loves you so much and never forget that through His Son Christ, Jesus there is peace that transcends all understanding. Pray,pray,pray. If you need to talk I am here for you! God Bless you and your mother. | |
Posted Jul 3rd, 2009 at 1:26AM I know what you are going through. I was the only child my mother had. I didn't meet my father until i was 11. She was the same way as your mother is to you. But now I'm 26 and can look back and say that what I have gone through has made me the person I am today. And I'm stronger, because I have kids of my own and I don't treat them anywhere near as bad as my mom did me. | |
Posted Oct 3rd, 2009 at 2:20AM Hello my name is Sara and I feel for you story, my story is very much so like yours, My mother has been a drug dealer earlier in my years and I never got to meet my father but when I got a hold of his family I found out he died so I never got the chance to meet him. My mother drinks everyday with vodka or kobra, I really feel for you because I am in the same situation, I fear that one day I will wake up to a dead mother with an exploded liver. I am not sure how to stop it, I feel depressed and great pain every day cause of it. I really do know how you feel, I also hated watching other familys, mothers and daughters shopping together, my mother doesnt know how to function in the world, she abandoned me at 15 and so now I rely on other people till I can get my diploma, I am 19 and I dropped out of highschool but im back in school going to graduate and maybe try the military, I love her but she sets her own path. | |
Posted Nov 9th, 2009 at 8:24PM While I haven't been through something quite like this I understand how you feel. While yours is not a pleasant experience, I can see that, because of it, your patience is never ending. This is a very helpfull quality. =) You are very intelligent for thinking about a mental vacation. Though I can't say your mother will stop, I do know that dealing with it will become easier with time. It's up to you whether or not to leave her (perhaps it will help her) but just keep in mind that sometimes it's a good day to think about yourself. Especially when you're just starting a new part of life. :) | |
