ok my mom is an alcoholic and she knows it. she gets drunk everynite. out of no where she pissed and at times becomes agressive. she has kicked out my sisters in the middle of the nite then the next day shes telling everyone they ran away.. she knows they come to my house.. but my mom will go off on stuff that doesnt make sense. what im getting at here. she says she drinks bcuz my sisters make her mad or angery. she "wants" to quit but she gets mad and she needs to drink. when shes drunk she puts my sisters down and everything. she doesnt relize that her drinking made most of her children move out. she keeps telling everyone that i was "too muc inlove" but what shes leaving out was i was willing to leave the guy i was dating if she quit. she said she wouldnt quit for me but yet she tells everyone that she will do ne for her children. my sister that was born after me my mom kicked her out and she never went back.  my sisters are good kids they have very good grades they try to help with the house they play sports.. they dont do drugs they dont drink.. our last episode my sisters came over and my baby sister didnt want to leave cuz my mom kicked them out. i called the cops.. she was on speaker phone she told them a totally different thing to told us about why my sisters left. she is a person to hit her own children.. she has and still denies it. but my sister didnt want to leave.. she told my sisters to look up alocholism.. my mom uses statistics to explain things.  i think shes uses alcoholism to get away with the stuff that she does.. she said im an alcoholic thats what we do..look it up.. its all there.. im like wtf. shes doing what is typical alcoholic cuz thats what its says that they do. idk i need some info on alcoholism and other opinions of my mother from what ive told yu. thanx

First of all I would like to say Hello and I'm sorry you are going through all this stress with your mom.  My dad is an alcoholic and always will be.. He'll never quit drinking, and I have accepted this as a way of life.  I am the oldest of 3 kids, I'm 24, my sister is 21, and my brother is 17.  I have 3 kids.. Zeke is 4 1/2, Trinity will be 3 in 4 days, and Phoenix is 9 months.
Now that we are introduced: It sounds like you are the oldest also.  It also sounds like your sisters really are great kids, and I wish your mom could realize how lucky she is to have good kids.  I know it is stressful and depressing but really my advice to you is just to be there for your sisters as much as you can but more importantly, concentrate on your beautiful little baby girl and be the best mom that you can be.  You can't make your mom change.  Alcoholics won't change unless they WANT to.  This is hard to accept, I know.  Also if she is abusing your sisters then maybe they could live with you? or another family member? how old are they?
Alcoholism does have a genetic link.. this doesn't mean that you will become an alcoholic simply because a parent is one, but it DOES mean that having a parent who is an alcoholic or addict increases your chance of becoming one.

If you have any questions or I can help you in any way, please let me know.
