My mother is 50 years old and I am 14. I have a 10 year old sister. My father died about 1 and a half years ago, and, since then, my mother has started to drink large amounts of alcohol in the evenings. She consumes at least 2 or 3 glasses of wine every night, nearly always when alone. It makes a huge difference to her personality, which is how I first realised that she was drinking so much.
Both my mother's mother and her brother had alcohol problems, which led to my mother's brother being killed outright in a very nasty alcohol induced car accident.
I have tried to stop her from drinking so much, but first talking to her, then sticking "DO NOT DRINK" to all the wine bottles in the house, and by shouting at her while crying, but nothing at all ha worked.
My neighbour (who is my mother's close friend) and I have been talking about this, and we don't know what to do. Please help me. I can't talk to my relatives because they all live ages away and hate me.
Please help
