Hi there. I’m a young adult. I still live with my parents and am a daughter of what I believe to be an alcoholic mother. She has always been a drinker since I was just a kid. But it was mostly just on the weekends and with friends where they would socially drink with one another.

Now it has gotten a lot worse where she goes through about 80%+ of a bottle of wine a night and I think she sneaks hard liquor (almost 100% sure) when she goes into the restroom and gets to the point where she becomes very bipolar and can’t remember a thing she says to me the day after.

She drinks EVERY day like this. Over the past couple of years I have worked almost nightly so I am out of the house for most of the time. But two of my other sisters are usually at home with her, as well as my dad.

My mom has stopped caring about the house. She doesn’t do laundry, clean, spend much time cooking, she doesn’t care about having a solid job as my father funds the entire family… the least you would think she could do is help out around the house, but no. My dad does it all. It’s not fair to him as he already works a full time managerial position through one of the largest companies in the world. And it’s not fair to my sisters or me when we have to deal with her childish behavior on the daily. I feel like I am her parent.

She gets really angry when you confront her about anything. I want to try and get her to lay off on the drinking because it is ruining her marriage, our relationship with her, etc. what do you think the best way to go about this is. She is planning on getting a divorce I think but I feel like that is stupid because she is the one who is in the wrong. My poor dad is going to lose half of his hard earned money to her and she is the drunk who doesn’t even care about her life.

Someone please help me here.
