I know what its like to have a parent drink all the time. My dad does too. Its not like he gets drunk and is terrible to my family, its just scary to see him drink all the time.
We have tried to talk to him about it and tried to get him to stop, but honestly, its all in her eyes. She has to want to quit drinking. There is nothing you can do to stop her. Sit her down and tell her you are scared for her and you care about her and don't want her to drink anymore. I know how much it hurts when they don't listen to you about it.
I just lost an uncle from drinking. He drank all the time and in time he died from drinking problems and I thought it would help my dad realize that his drinking is a problem.
But as much as it hurts me to watch him, its his choice to drink. So as much as it hurts you to watch her, there's nothing you can do about her drinking and she has to want to quit drinking. So all I can tell you is talk to her. Make her hear your side of the story. That's honestly the best advice I have.
But know that their are people out there dealing with parents like that too. You aren't alone.

Spend all of the time you can with her being supportive of her. Because it may be short. She probably knows how short. Let her know you want to help her live longer. If she has Hep C and is still drinking then there is no resolution that is good. But if you push yourself away and she dies you will regret. Never let her say that you turned your back or didn't care. People like this have to want help FOR THEMSELVES. Family cannot want it for them. That is what is difficult. If you can think of any non alcohol activity that she enjoys you should get her to do it, and see how she responds. good luck.

Your mother needs professional help. Try and talk to someone like a counselor or trusted adult. They will give you advice on what to do. You can also call 1-800-448-3000 to talk to someone or go to http://www.girlsandboystown.org/hotline/index

Find a meeting close to you, these meetings are full of people who feel just like you do, and are going through the same things you are.

I know how you feel. My stepdad is an alcoholic too. He can be so scary when he is drunk. You are lucky that it is your mom and not a strange man. He raped me. You have to get help! Be strong and help your mom. dont leave her behind. My mom left me and I'd do anything to get her back. Please dont lose her.

Try to get her into the 12-step program & get both you & her some counseling.

her liver is being damaged,she has to stop, but if she won't have her at least take milk thistle, it's an herb that is great for protecting the liver.

I feel so sorry for you. Stay at a grandma's house. You deserve better than that!
