iv lived with my mom since i was 7 and my parents got a divorce, my dad got re-married 2 years ago ( im now 15) my moms drinking has been out of hand since before i was born, i luckily don't have fetal alcohol syndrome , iv told my mom soooo many times how much its been killing us to have her drink, but one night we all went camping and it got TO far, she was out of control and that was the last straw, i called my dad and got him to come and pick me up, she says now , she couldnt even remember the night and, it scared her - as it should. I freaked out many times about it but i think she finally realized that she DOES have a problem , that she hasnt kept it this amazing secreate from us, and that if she doesnt lose the alcohol shes going to lose us. My mom sat down with me and my 2 brothers ( ones 17 and ones 20) that she is going to try and watch her drinking, and if it gets to hard she will get help , throughout all of this i really do want to live with my dad, its just shes put so much guilt on me for having that thought, she will say ';maby you should trust me, '; or ';dont you think im strong enough?'; but i really dont know. in the back of my mind i almost wish i hadent freaked out before and just left so that i could live with my dad and then she would realize she had a problem, i know its sorta horrible to think that , but its true. Iv had to grow up so fast, and take care of every one , even though iv only been a child. my mom also has a thing going with her boss, HES MARRIED!!! i found out by the night she was drinking i took her phone just in case and he sent her a text saying '; good night sexy xoxoxo'; should i go live with my dad, or trust my moms promise HELP!Mom is an Alcoholic, should i go live with dad even though she said she'll drink in moderation or get help?
You shouldn't have to deal with this but your mom needs help. If she doesn't want to get better than I think you would be better off living with your dad.Mom is an Alcoholic, should i go live with dad even though she said she'll drink in moderation or get help?
Talk to your mom and tell her your concerns and how you feel. Ask her to seek professional help, otherwise you will go live with your dad.
Is this Kenzie?
Leave With Your Dad Until She Gets Over Her Problem =]
You could either stay until she might go crazy drinking again or live with your dad until you think your ready to live with your mom. But it does sound like your mom need you at the moment for support on what she's going through. Suggest that she joins the AA Group. ';alcoholics anonymous';. Check out www.aa.org.
Your mom has problems, alcohol is ok for someone who can handle it but for someone who can't it's a disease and they need help. Persons like this will always try to blame other people for their problems and almost always latch on to their kids. The best thing for you is to live with your dad if he's stable and focus on yourself so you don't end up in the same trap. Your mom has to face her demons head on if she wants her life back. So don't feel guilty it's not your fault we all make our own decision and we are the only ones who can change our self.
