Today, I asked my mom why she drinks. She said she only drinks when she's depressed. My step-dad said she only drinks on the weekend. Those are the days I'm at her house. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I asked my mother why she didn't drink. She laughed and said, "The last time I drank was the night you were conceived. I didn't need any other disasters." 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
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 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 mom celebrated a year's sobriety by having a couple of beers with her boyfriend. FML
Today, I came home to find my mom drunk. She asked me for a hug and then started crying, "Where's my daughter?" I'm her daughter. And her only child, as far as I know. FML
Today, after weeks of drinking my mom's vodka and replacing it with water, it now only tastes like water. She has a habit of drinking on Fridays. Today is Friday. My life is a ticking time bomb. FML
Today, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. 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 sent me a text message, asking me why I blocked her on Facebook. I didn't. She blocked me, after drinking a bottle of wine. After having a conversation telling me that I need to go to AA and detox. I didn't have anything to drink, and have been limiting alcohol. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Her drinking may or may not have anything to do with OP being there. A lot of people only drink on the weekends, and I see no reason to assume that the mom is depressed because of OP. We all know what assuming does, after all.

I was thinking of the same thing. It could also be that she drinks on the weekends only because she doesn't have to work on the days after she drinks. I'm sure if she really was depressed because the OP visits on the weekends, she would have just come right out and said it to the OP or just asked for her not to visit anymore because she doesn't like it.

Well some people dont like to drink during the week because they dont want it to interfere with work. Always look at the positive OP

A lot of people do not drink during the week and drink only on weekends. Sadly, some of them make up for what they do not drink during the week. Your mom is probably sad about your step-douche, I mean dad and drinks to wash away the ugly sex she has to have with him on the weekends. I doubt it's you.

And a lot of people enjoy a beer when they get home from work on a friday night and get painted as an alcoholic >_>

"That's the day's I'm at her house" I would also be depressed.

This comment might have words, but it is empty in value, as it was posted in the wrong place. Feel free to bury it.

She probably drinks because of your bad grammar.

You asked it today, but you're only at your mom's house on week-ends, so how could you ask her why does she drink?

Now I see why FMLs sent out by #34 have been all rejected. He probably is one of those that begins their FMLs with "Yesterday", "The other night" or "A while ago". He's not a true FMLer yet.

Ever heard of a phone? Or, even better, a computer. They have things called "chat" now.
