      I’m 16 years old, I have been aware of my mums drinking problem from a young age, although I’ve never known who to tell or what to do so I just kept it to myself. My parents had a huge fall out last night and my dad finally confronted me about my mums problem, it feels a relief to be able to talk about it with one family member however now I do not know what to do. My mum started drinking shortly after I was born, I presume due to post natal depression and I can’t help but feel this is my fault. I really don’t know what to do and I’m overwhelmed with emotion, my mum is in complete denial and has left the house to stay with a friend. I’ve confronted her before about her problem and she promised me on many occasions it wouldn’t happen again and she just gets angry at me and then continues to drink. I find bottles all the time. However I’m scared if I confront her she will just flip out, however I fear for her safety and her job. I really don’t know what to do before it’s too late or she will lose her job and we’ll lose everything. I need help I just don’t know what to do
