Hello friend, If I were to tell you I haven't experienced the same with my mother, I would be lying. But, in my case it was cannabis that made her despair off the map and she had a breakdown infront of me. I only realize this now, but part of the reason why parents substance abuse in our cases is because they live in a deep denial of something they have been trying to surpress for a long time. I am not sure how old you are but I presume you are between the ages of 16-20 and if so, I'll tell you this. It gets better over time. Once you become more involved in her life and help her unravel most of those truamtizing thoughts that make her want to escape and drink. She'll have a much better mind to think. Talk to your father about it and tell him you are concerned. Maybe even go talk to your mother about it when you see fit. She will come around eventually, my mother did atleast; after I told her that I was afraid of losing her because of her constant despairing and not being involved as much in our lives, she opened up about a lot of stuff that she has been holding for a long time, maybe talk to her about that.

She needs a reason to think rationally and not drink. I believe you can do it friend and I hope I understood you completely. As muchvhard as it seems now, remember that she loves you as well. And you are handling it brilliantly.

You are not alone here ❤ Good luck friend
