It's certinaly not the answer and I want her to stop but I don't know what to say!. Like "mom stop drinking so much!" Or "Mom plz alkahol is not the answer" I just can't imagin me saying that!. Wat should I do!?!!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Can you have a talk with your dad to see what he thinks and what the both of you can do!? I would start with him; if you cannot talk with him about it, maybe ask your teacher or a school counselor about it!. It is a serious problem and could lead to other harmful things for not only your mother, but you as well!. I am glad you have noticed this behavior and are willing to try and do something about it!.!.!.good for you! I wish you all the best and hope you can help her out soon!.

Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Im glad to see you want to help her, but really she needs to want to help herself too!. Has she expressed the desire for help or just reaches for another glass full!? Has your father express concern at her drinking or seems oblivious, Talk to him about it and voice your concerns!. Then you both need to come up with a plan to get her to realize she needs assistance!. Its going to be a very tough stressful ride but being sober in the end is worth the benefits, not only for herself and her health but for the whole familys well being!.

I wish you luck, best wishes and hugs be strong and dont back down!.

I read your update: And seeing as hes gotten upset and realizes he also might have a problem its up to you to get them to realize it!. Get some help from family after you talk to them!. Talk to a school counseler about who you need to talk to for help if you cant get family help!. Its a good thing your doing!. Hugs hun your doing the right thingWww@FoodAQ@Com

Why can't you imagine yourself talking to your mother honestly!.

Don't tell her she's drinking too much!. She'll resent being caught and take it out on you!. Instead, when she's sober, tell her you're concerned that she's been drinking more than usual, and that you're worried about her!.

I strongly recommend attending an Alateen meeting to learn strategies of living with someone with a drinking problem!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well you need to get her to at least slow down before she can not function with out it!. Then it will be harder for her to stop so the best wayto ask her to stop is to first ask her to slow down and not drink so much!. You are only coserned for her health other wise you wouldn't careWww@FoodAQ@Com

you should start drinking to and see how they like itWww@FoodAQ@Com
