I get anxious and can't sleep at night because my mother's drinking.

  • Guys, I know it's hard, but if you're old enough, move out. You've got to love yourself enough to get away. And don't be embarrassed. Your loved one needs help you can't give them. Seek professional help. If you're not old enough, tell your teacher, or counselor, I know this is hard, and might seem like you're selling them out, but they need serious help. At first it'll be bad, I know. You'll feel unimaginable pain. And they'll say very hurtful things. But you've got to look beyond that. This is an extremely difficult situation more serious than you know. Eventually, they'll ether receive the help they need, or they'll refuse it. Either way, you need to get out. At least tell a family member. They might have a solution. You may feel like you're selling them out. They may tell you the same. It WILL HURT. & if may take a couple of YEARS before you realize you did the right thing. Doing what is best, or the right thing is never easy. That's why 'taking the easy way out' is an insult. It shows weakness. Be strong. Seek help where ever you can get it. Don't be private about it. That's what makes things worse. I'm sorry I can't be there for you. This is the path that has been chosen for you. What you do with it is up to you. You choose the steps you take. I recommend a chaplain of some kind. They are very helpful guides on the the path of life. Don't worry about sin, fire, heaven, or hell. You have more pressing issues. Any chaplain worth his salt won't preach those things to you. They'll help you w/the task at hand. God will help you, but you must ask for it. No special rules or ceremony, just ask. the answer will always be in your heart, but it's controlled by the brain, so remember to think before you act. God will help you, IF you let him. He cannot affect free will. I wish you the best of luck on your troubled journey. Godspeed, my friend.
