My mom has been drinking for about 1 1/2 years now. For a while, she controlled it. It didn't seem like a problem. Because when you're 12, 4 beers seems like nothing, not a problem, even though I knew there was shit going down. She started getting worse and smoking claiming the smoking would 'help her stop.' But now I'm 13 yrs, 8 months, and in the past year i learned something. I'm afraid that it is just getting worse. I've tried confronting her but she claims its not my business.. is it not my business? should i stay out? or not. Because if she gets worse, I grow up in a bad environment.. If it is my business, and you want to answer this question, heres more description : Every night, my mom will drink 3-12 beers. just depending on what she feels like. She hides her drinking, but shes slowly becoming more open. I mean, I'll see her sneak in the six pack and then in a couple hours, she's back with another six pack and when I get water before leaving in the morning, that six pack will be empty. & I found vodka in her closet. my sister is 19 years old, and I dont want to tell her about the vodka bottles because she'll say something and i don't need family drama, my lifes complicated enough. How can I confront my mom or get her help without her saying its not my business. what do i say. who can help. btw- my dad has tried and she just got to the point that when hes not home ( he works out of town in mississippi most of the time.) is when she drinks and then when hes here she'll cut down to 2 beers so my dad thinks im over exaggerating. Tonight my mom went on a rant about how im not good enough. Is she REALLY the one to be talking? please help. i'm scared im going to grow up in a bad environment.... Read More »
