I'd love to post my mom's chart and ask you guys to have a look at it and tell me what you think, but I can't because the only Internet connection I have ATM is on my phone and I can't post harts on my phone. Her birthday is 17 march 1960. I'm 32, eldest of her four kids.. She had me when she was 19, married my dad and was great mother to us all while we were growing up. I have no idea what the fuck happened but around two years ago (when I was overseas) I started getting these phone calls from her at the most ungodly hours with her in tears telling me how she didn't want to be married anymore. Then she set herself up with a car of her own and left my dad last year. They got divorced this year in january. She has developed alcoholism over the last few years and it's getting progressively worse. She moved back in with my dad (he's Leo) about four months ago and things started to look a bit better, but now, we're on vacation and it's like she's just lost the plot. All she does is drink and pass out and come up with every reason under the sun to justify her drinking. She was pissed by about 11am today. Between about 4pm yesterday and this morning at 11am, she polished a brand new bottle of whiskey! And then passed out on her and my dad's bed. She cries all the time about how she hates my dad and how awful it is living with him. She takes a lot of abuse: from all of us who just don't like it when she's been drinking. My dad especially gets very judgmental and nasty with her. He doesn't drink at all. I feel terrible that I have said some hurtful things to her, but they have been the truth so I'm not going to take them back.... But it hasn't just been me. Like I said, she takes a lot of nastiness from us and I'm trying my hardest to be compassionate now because it can't be easy with everyone in your house telling you how shit you are almost every day. When she's sober she's so nice and we love her. She's the woman who raised us. But even now, when she's sober, I can see her spirit is broken and she has no self worth. I think hearing everyone you love slamming you all the time can really get to you and you can only fend it off for so long before it starts taking it's toll. but she does it to herself. She can't keep her shit together anymore and my heart is broken for her. She's so depressed and she just drowns herself in alcohol every second day pretty much. My dad sent her to rehab for 6 weeks which helped for a while but she just relapsed.

Right now she's completely shirking her responsibilities and my dad is the one who has to clean up, go grocery shopping and do the dishes. He does them and then he constantly throws it up in her face during an argument. It's like he can't say anything nice to her or about her at the moment because of how much she is drinking. We all went to a BBQ at his friends house yesterday and he told my mom unless she was sober by the time we had to leave to go to the BBQ he was gonna leave her at home. This triggered her breaking down in their room and crying and saying how he told her she wasn't worth being taken with on family outings when that's not what he said. He wanted her to be sober when we got to his friend's house and tried to get her to cooperate by being nasty (my father is like a two-year-old emotionally). It was her that said she wasn't worth being taken with. I don't think she believed she would be absle to be the woman he needed her to be. It's his only friend and he never goes to his friend. He'll see him once every six months or something. His whole life is work and his family so when he said we were going to a BBQ at his friend, we knew it meant a lot to him that we all represented and were cultured human beings. It's not too much to ask for one day i feel! and she couldn't do it. Instead she stayed home and continued to get plastered on whiskey. Her sister came over today and my mom pretty much just sat in her room watching movies and sleeping the whole time. She came out in time for dinner and seemed to be a bit more social then but she doesn't joint in conversations or anything. She's really anti social at the moment and I'm extremely worried about her. I'm worried it's all going to take it's toll on her even more and she's going to try hurt herself because it's all become too much.

This is very serious😢

You need to get her some professional help. And Pisces can be very dangerous in that you'll never know what we're thinking/planning until the last minute. She could be in a dark place and really needs help. Gosh, I'm sorry you have to deal with this, alcoholism is traumatic on families. I hope your mother gets better.



Thank-you for your compassion and concern. At the moment, I'd just like to start with getting my family members to treat her with love and not condemn her to hell because she has a disease and has made a few bad decisions in her life. My father is especially judgemental on her and he loves belittling her by saying very cruel things to her in public or in front of other people.

@P-Angel: despite what your warped mind thinks of me, my mother is not me and the fact that you are not willing to try and help a human being based on what you incorrectly concluded her daughter to do is appalling and I wouldn't actually want advice from someone like that for my worst enemy let alone my beloved mother. That is all.
