My mother-in-law is an alcoholic and wont get help.. what should we do?

We unfortunately have to live with my alcoholic mother-in- law as we currently do not have enough money to move out!!!





She was drinking on the weekend and she denied she drank at all- when her daughter told her she did, she came to us and asked if she had drank- when we told her she had, she started yelling and getting upset saying ';well I may aswell drink everynight if u think i do it anyway'; and then went on to say how ungrateful i am that they have given us a roof over our heads. (P.S she was drunk when she said this)





She always says she is an alcoholic, but she refuses to get help and thinks if she only drinks 2 days a week, she isn't an alcoholic....





She does not remember verbally abusing us when she drinks (on another occasion she has blamed us for her being an alcoholic) and the next day its as if nothing has happend...





What can we do to get her help without her feeling bombarded or getting offended?My mother-in-law is an alcoholic and wont get help.. what should we do?

you cant change her and you live with her so the only thing you can do is move or put up with it

Nothing, have you been living on the moon or something? You can't help someone unless they want your help. Does her drinking interfere with your life? Even if it does, tough luck mate, it's her house, that's the point you seem to be missing. I know you mean well, but you hafta to see it from her point of view, you've come into her house, and now you want to tell her how to live her life? It's just not your place. YOU can find an al-anon meeting and learn how to deal with it in your life, but you can't force someone to be sober. And what makes you the expert on what makes someone an alcoholic anyway, sorry I hate to be rude to anyone, but you seem really judgemental. Are you perfect, isn't there something about your own life you can obsess about and work on and leave her to live her life as she chooses. She'll get help IF SHE wants help.
