Talk to Al Anon tehy really are very good.
There is nothing you can really do I'm afraid hon, she wont stop untill/unless she is ready to, trust me I know what I'm talking about. You cant ever feel its your fault though, I know it hurts when she says cruel things to you in drink - have you told her what she says when she is sober?
If there is someone else you can go and stay with you might want to do that. There are people you can talk to, here included x x

Hey, My mum was an alcoholic too. It was really tough for years and she very nearly died but she got through it over 10 years later. Been dry for about 3 years now. I remember that you can't really say anything. The more you tell them the angrier they get and the more they deny it. Eventually they see their actions even if it's very slightly and have to admit it in their own time. This can take years. It's a heartbreaking situation.
hi dollypink,
i told my mum i was worried about her drinking when i had a baby, as she did not seem to have any idea of the danger of being drunk when holding the baby etc (never mind the weird and hurtful things she says when she's been drinking). she and my dad got very upset and in the end we didn't speak for a few months. I kept trying though, and although it was one of the hardest things i've done, i'm really pleased now, as the situation did improve and i needed to say it for my own sanity! it was worth it, but like i said, very hard. you will need support from people around, like friends or other family, so let people in. you will need someone to call when it gets hard! wish you lots of luck!
