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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. 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, I caught my mom trying to get secretly smashed out of her brain-box on booze at 8:00 a.m. FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's mom. She went on about how my girlfriend's dad is a no good drunk, following this statement with spilling her fifth glass of wine. 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 alcoholic mother decided to finally check herself into rehab. She did it while drunk, and flirted with the front attendant. FML
Today, my mom came home, shitfaced drunk. She thought I was my dad and gave me a forceful kiss, with a lot of tongue. She then pulled away, stared at me, screamed in horror, and spewed all over me. I puked too. FML
Today, I left a concert with my drunk mother who had spilled beer all over my shirt. I drove her home and she slept it off. Later, my mom "found" my shirt in the laundry and grounded me for drinking behind her back. She won't believe me that it was her. FML
Today, my very drunk mom called me to confess that she was the girl that my boyfriend left me for two years ago. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and punched me in the nose, then yelled at me for bleeding on the carpet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She's in denial, but maybe if enough people that care tell her she has a problem, she'll listen.

Denial is always the hardest part to over come during an addiction :(

Probably works better when she's also sober, fyi

sometimes it can be difficult to find a sober moment with an alcoholic

I have an in-law like that. And one on one didn't work cause we underestimated the power of denial. We needed a group approach which I'm sure would have worked....but no one else wanted to confront this bully about it, just me and my wife, which was fine, except that it ultimately failed. Twice I had to back him down, scoop up my wife's family and bring them to my house so the drunk could rage all he wanted alone. Twice the mother in law defended him later, saying that it's not that bad, we over reacted, etc, whatever. Eventually, we gave them a choice: he gets professional help for his alcoholism at an in patient facility, or don't expect us to expose our young children to this level of abusive shit ever again. It's been 3 and a half years without seeing them. Nothings changed, and we're still waiting..... So, sorry being so long winded here. Fyl OP. I hope for the best.

58- Wow... I'm terribly sorry it came to that ultimatum...I really do hope everything turns out better. Have a great New Year's.

My wife and I comfortable with our decision, and maybe one day the rest of them will come around as well. If not, that's unfortunate but we can live with that. Thanks for the thought though. :) And happy new year to you too. :)

It's cool to think they'll stop their habit because you care about them & love em enough for em stop .. But it's usually never like that . She's gonna stop whenever she decides to .

He blurted everything out? What an odd description. Confessed everything, expressed my concerns, even spilled my heart out would be better than blurting everything out. Aside from the odd description, that does suck... I'm having the same issues with my dad.

Blurted out caught my attention as kind of odd as well

In Russia, the very tears of our eyes have the taste of vodka.

Cups? Dah, you are not Russian. We drink from bottle!

Persistence is the key OP, you're going to have to do this at least another 1,000 times minimum for her to even begin "listening" to you. Stay Strong.

Can't blame her, vodka and cup is refreshing.
