hi ya pet, i feel so sorry 4 ya. my mother has been an drunk 4 so long i cant rember when it started. im 22 with 3 kids and i cut my mother out of life 4 yrs ago,its the best desion ive ever made. my sis tells me she is getting up in the middle of the night to drink and is always having affairs.she always has an excuse 2 drink and now she is trying 2 say she is mentaly ill and tat is what causes her 2 drink. at one stage she weighed 18 stone and now she is 7stone,she dosnt eat just drinks. the whole family has done everything 2 help over the years but as she says "drink means more to me dan any of you lot" so my advice is cut her out of your life now before she ends up runing it on ya.xxx

i also understand wher your coming from. My mum was an alcoholic as i was growing up. it started when i was about 6/7. she would get up and start drinking untill she either passed out or fell asleep. I really feel for you. However nothing you do or say is going make a differance unless your mother can see the error of her ways and wants to change for herself. My mum sorted herself out after about three years so i cant really remember how she done it and we dont talk about it.. All i can suggest you do is call a helpline and ask for advice. I really do wish you the best of luck and i hope your mum comes round and realises what she is putting you through x x x

i understand exactly where sarah is coming from my mum was like that before she had my little sister was up at 10 first drink of the day was cider and didnt finish til she went to sleep, always sat on the computer-drunk and it upset me so much that she didnt have time for me or properly listen to how my day has been, she isnt half as bad as what she use to be i just dread coming home from work/college and seeing her drunk.
