The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Dearest Dotty ,Dear Girl, My heart aches for you. I was like your Mum but a few months ago, for years. I was horrible to my boys here and there and for that I am truely sorry and they have forgiven me (they are now 18 and 17 years old) I was only going to admitt I was a "closet" drinker when I first read your post...but to be honest with myself and you there really were many times I was just horrible)
Denial is a powerful "thing" as is alcohol abuse! I was in denial for years. Unfortunatly, not until your Mum admitts her "problem" can she start to recover! I just want to share with you Hon, there is HOPE!

Dotty...I just wanted to add what a loving, concerned Daughter you are to your Mum. She is very blessed to have you as her Daughter.

Dotty, do they have any organizations like Al-Anon where you live. They can help you cope better with your mom's drinking. I found it very effective.

Hi Dotty. I am so sorry to hear about your mom and what you are gong thru in dealing with this. It is difficult and it hurts to see a loved one go thru this and you cant do anything about it. you feel helpless, maybe feel somehow it may be your fault, feel anger, sadness, etc. Its a hard thing to go thru. My kids went thru this with me.
Someone earlier suggested Al Anon. Have you had a chance to look into it or some other support group?
here is a link you might check out: http://www.al-anon.alateen.org/
also different christian organizations have recovery/support programs for the alcoholic and the dependant of the alcoholic.
My heart goes out to you and I truly hope and wish for the best for you and your mom. please keep the folks here posted on how your mom and YOU are doing. your not alone - you have friends here.

Hey,
I know exactly how you feel. My mother, father, and brothers fathers are all alcoholics. I went to Ala-Teen which was a great thing for me. I suggest you look for one near you. Also cling to God. Hold on tight to him and don't even think about letting go. I let the alcoholics in my life bring me way down. I let them make me think I was the reason they drank. I let them emotionally and mentally abuse me. My prayers worked and are working. My father is sober as well as my brothers father. My mother is on the road to recovery.
I will be praying for you
God Bless,
Sarah
