Today, my mum got upset with me for having my first hangover ever after being of legal drinking age for over 6 years. She is a closet alcoholic in denial who hides red wine bottles around the house. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my drunken mother told me I'm just like my father and that I don't give a fuck about her. She's living in my home and drinking my wine. FML
Today, my mum staggered home, piss drunk. When I tried to walk her to her room, she shoved me away and cursed at me for being a "goody two-shoes". She then slurred, "I fucked your mum", and informed me that my mum is a skank. That's good to know, mum. FML
Today, I confronted my mom about her drinking problems. After I blurted everything out, she completely denied it. She did this as she was drinking a huge cup full of vodka. FML
Today, I caught my mom trying to get secretly smashed out of her brain-box on booze at 8:00 a.m. FML
Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML
Today, my mom celebrated a year's sobriety by having a couple of beers with her boyfriend. FML
Today, my mom told me she wasn't an alcoholic because she doesn't get "black out drunk" daily. She only gets drunk enough to slur her words and reek of alcohol daily, so it's okay. FML
Today, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and started crying, ranting about all the things she could have done in life if I hadn't been born. FML
Today, my mom laid into me, calling me a selfish bitch, blaming me for my dad not being around and finally that she should’ve aborted me. All because I couldn't get her booze from the neighborhood market she’s been banned from. I’m not even 21. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

yes, because every country adapts the american laws. Good thinking

They said 27 or 24... They were taking into consideration other countries drinking ages and most countries have a drinking age or either 18 or 21.

And in most European countries the legal drinking age is very low, in particular France and Italy.

Actually, in Belgium and The Netherlands you're allowed to drink alcoholic beverages lower than 15% at the age of 16 and higher at 18. I thought the same went for France and Italy, since I never noticed anything different while on vacation there.

Yep, it is the same in Italy, and also in Greece.

In France it used to be that you could buy wine/ beer at sixteen and spirits at eighteen, but it's changed so you have to be eighteen to buy alcohol now.

She's not an alcoholic! She's a wine enthusiast! Anyone notice that she was upset about the hangover, not the actual drinking? Maybe she expected her son to hold his liquor better. hehe

It's 18 in Belgium regardless of what you're drinking, as it is in the majority of countries in Europe.

#14 Holland is 16 Your mother only wants the best for you and doesnt want you to become like her. I think

#36, that's what I was thinking. She was upset he couldn't hold his liquor and had a hangover, not that he was drinking.

That's nice 78. It doesn't change the fact that MOST countries are 18 or 21.

"Closet alcoholic in denial"? Use one or the other, not both.
CableX17 0
@89- Both were necesarry. Closet alcoholic could simply mean shes hiding that fact from the world, but in denial also tells you that not only is she secretly an alcoholic, but she has also convinced herself that she really isn't. Get it?
horneyhic 15
actually the US is the only country that's 21 the rest of the world is mostly 18 or 16 with exeptions

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. And alcoholism is often thought to be hereditary. FYL but she probably was only mad out of concern for you.

I thought that too. Or maybe she was drunk. :O

He doesn't necessarily live with her, maybe he just had to go to her house, or vice versa, the next day. Or maybe he does live with her, I'll never know. By the way, what the hell does OP stand for? I know it refers to the poster, but can't seem to get an answer for what it means.

She's just trying to make you not end up like her. Although I am under 21, unfortunatly my family has a history of this. Thank god not my mother and father, but older generations that have died off from both sides. :( So I may just try to avoid achohol all together. Please, for the sake of humanity, listen to your mother and father!

Exactly! Maybe she was trying to help you out. If anything, you can return the favor and help her with her alcoholism.

well tell her to go **** herself if she can't see that she's a drunk than you need to take her to rehab there's nothin worse than a drunk who denise it
ellensaligo 0
Rehab only works if the addict actually realises they have a problem, and wants to beat it. If she's in denial there's absolutely no point her being in rehab. Maybe collecting a week's worth of bottles and confronting her with them might shock her into realising she's out of control, she probably doesn't even realise how much she drinks.

Is it me or does FML keep on closing up posts so you can't comment on them? OP, FYL. You go ahead a drink (:. As long as you keep your drinking under control aka don't get hooked.
