Hey love, okay first of all tell and adult that you trust.
I know it may be the hardest thing in the world because i know but you need to do it,especially talk to your dad. I went through kinda what you did and i still am.Its tough but the only way for it to get better is for you to tell someone.Alcohol is a disease and it is not something that gets better over night,or over even a year. It can take a lifetime to recover.Do whats best for you and your brother,you are NOT the adult or the parent,worry about youself and your well being.I thought the same thing and that i could handle all of it.but no child on this earth can handle their lives and someone elses especially an adults.Talk to a counsuler or a doctor or a relative,if you think you need help or someone to vent to go ahead.It helps.Talk to your mom, tell her your not going to do this and that you will help her only if shes willing to get better, but dont take full charge,just be a good daughter and love her.She needs that.

mod, my mom abuses me, like hits me nd throws stuff at me and rams chairs into me nd stuff like that. she sometimes leaves scratches or bruses.. she has bipolar depression nd has a lot of problems and she tends to take her anger and frustration out on me. what can i do to get her to stop hurting me? i cant take it anymore.. im ready to run away...




Hey girl, you need to talk to an adult pronto. Tell a relative. Tell a neighbor. Tell a guidance counselor ASAP. The pain can't stop until you speak up and keep speaking up until someone does something.

My mom has a drinking problem, too. But my parents are together.

i know how it feels. My mom does the same thing. And it has gotten a lot worse since my older siblings moved out. Try talking to your friends parents about it. That in the least will help you (and maybe your brother) get out of the house and away from the yelling for awhile.

Ya, girly, it's hard to have a parent that drinks. I know. My dad has been getting drunk every night for as long as I remember. My parents got divorced and my mom got a bf. Sometimes they will sit and have a glass of wine and sometimes it's wierd that her bf isn't drunk, because that's what j
used to.
