Guest Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 recently my mothers alcoholism is starting to flare up again. she changed jobs and took 3 months off work as a break after 8 years fulltime, shes just started her job which pays well and asked though if she could borrow $3000 to see her through the 3 months, im 18 and $3000 is alot of money to me (comes from my allowance from my dad as parents are divorced) im trying to study aviation which takes up 100% of my time and money. she said she'd pay me back in 2 weeks, that was 2 months ago and every night since i gave her the cheque shes been completely blind drunk. most nights ill be woken at 3am by a blasting tv and go upstairs to see my mother passed out infront of the tv. i feel like all the hard work it took to get her off the booze a couple years ago has completely gone to waste. what can i do? i feel so discouraged and let down, its hurting my social life again as well as my studies. any advice please..!

Mistaken Identity Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Do you have any idea what started her drinking again? Does she have a sponsor you can call? Can you talk to your dad about it? Is she going out to drink or drinking at home? Why don't you try Alcoholic's Anonymous, or something similar? Hang in there! Link to post Share on other sites
