Today, I was going to my prom. My mom knows I want to drink so to prevent me, she made sure I took my prescription medicine before I left. I guess her way of stopping me from drinking is killing myself If I do. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Today, my once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, my mom took away my medication. She's afraid I'll get "hooked". The medication is anti-anxiety pills. I have horrible anxiety attacks that sometimes cause me to scratch my arms until they bleed. FML
Today, my mom told me I'm the reason she's going to kill herself one day. 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, I found my mom throwing my very expensive and important medication down the toilet. She thought I was doing drugs. FML
Today, my mom forbade me from taking any allergy medicine, because she is afraid that I'll turn into a meth addict. I have horrible allergies and can barely see or stop sneezing without them. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and tried to push me off a ladder. FML
Today, I told my mom I loved her and she asked if I was going to kill myself. FML
Today, after getting my wisdom teeth pulled, I woke up from a much needed nap realizing I should take my pain medication. My mother then told me she had thrown them out so I wouldn't get addicted and become a drug dealer. FML

citrusGirl - what's in it for a guy to go to prom? really? tell me. most guys want to get laid after prom, ergo, no reason to spend the money in renting a tux and beyond; much easier to just a poker night with your best buds or go to one of various after-parties. spend a ton less money and have a great time.

The number of children (and yes, even if you *think* you are all grown up, you are children if you are in HS) in this country who are "responsible drinkers" can be counted on one hand. Chances are, it ain't you.

hate to say it but she obviously doesn't trust you. see, what she did may have been a bit extreme but she could have also not allowed you to go to your party or to prom at all. my friend wasn't allowed to go to prom at out catholic high school because his extreme evangelical parents thought that he'd manage to get in trouble in a room full of angry old nuns (straight a student, never even talked back to his parents). so be glad your mom let you go at all, she just doesn't want to watch you get your stomach pumped or scrape you off the highway.

In the end what did she really do? . . Make her take a medication she was supposed to be taking anyway?

not to keep harassing you, ideasrule, but being a homophobe is not equal to worrying about the safety of your children. to be honest the fact that you made such a bad comparison kind of proves that you're not responsible enough to drink if you couldn't even come up with a sensible argument. a lot of bad things can happen to you if you're drunk, not just alcohol poisoning. being even buzzed lowers your ability to judge and function significantly.

Today, my mommy made me take my medicine so I wouldn't do something illegal and dangerous. FML.

I think it was a good method. Got you to think twice about drinking didn't it?
