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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom left the house in the morning, leaving me alone. I called and I got no answer. Hours later, she finally answers one of my calls and tells me that she'd been in an AA meeting all this time. Happy, I tell her to come home. She came home drunk. FML
Today, my alcoholic mother decided to finally check herself into rehab. She did it while drunk, and flirted with the front attendant. FML
Today, I had to pick up and drive home a couple of drunk bitches. Unfortunately, one of these drunk bitches was my mother. 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 got drunk and tried to push me off a ladder. FML
Today, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, I had to go pick up my mother at 3 in the morning. She had been out drinking and couldn't drive. She parties more than I do. FML
Today, I had to confess to my mother that I was too hungover to take her to her AA meeting. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and punched me in the nose, then yelled at me for bleeding on the carpet. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'd think it's time to hide all the bottles...

I guess she lives by the term "I'm a drunk, alcoholics go to meetings".

She needs help. Now. Do yourself a favour and never get in a car with her.

Maybe she should try harder.

Could be court-ordered AA

She's not trying at all. If she was trying, she wouldn't have got drunk.

Sooo... The AA isn't working? Try not to take it at face-value. Despite common belief, the things that people say while drunk are not how they really feel. I'm not going to condone alcoholism, but it is a serious problem and is a very hard addiction to get over. Support your mother in her efforts (whenever she does make them, anyway) and show her that she does have someone she can reach out to when she needs it. Best of luck!

No where in here did it mention she was going to AA. Learn to read moron.

Gee...#26 If only AA stood for Alcoholics anonymous and they did therapy sessions there. *Sarcasm*

#40: Yes, AA stands for Alcoholics Anonymous, but the OP did not mention AA, just a 'therapy' appointment. It could be AA, but could just as likely, if not more so, not be. Learn to read before you berate others.

It's kinda sad when kids have to be responsible for their parents. Still, try get her help and maybe you can also talk to the therapist to see what you're able to do, and get help coping yourself.

I feel for you. But she needs your support during this time. Hang in there girl :)

Maybe record her rants then play them back for her when she is sober.

Or she could send them into the media like David Hasselhoff's little witch of a daughter.

That was just bad, at least the Germans love him.

33: How does that make the daughter a witch? If parents choose to set that kind of example for their kids, they should be prepared to be called on it.

Get ready. After a few therapy appointments, she'll blame you for her drinking problems and that she was never loved by her parents. Be strong while she goes through the motions.

On the plus side, during her alcohol-fueled haze, she probably did more wacky antics to entertain the therapist when she does actually show up for an appointment.
