Mike in the ACOA section suggested I post this here as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My alcoholic mom and I live together but I am not living WITH her. The distinction being we each pay half of everything- more of a roommate situation. With that said my mom was laid off in March and has not open a job to date. She is very well educated always performs come up in her jobs and at work is ALWAYS sober. She has been on several interviews but has not been hired yet. She suffers from depression and the 6 months of unemployment have sent her into a tailspin of drinking and sleeping. Due to the unemployment she has recently run out of money. I paid half of her contract in August and all of it in September. After a recent drinking episode. I told her I would no longer help her with bills but honestly when I think about that it isn't possible. If all of rent doesn't get paid. I am in trouble as come up. Ideas thoughts etc? I am actually buying a place of my own within the next 6 months but until then I am not sure how to handle this...
That's a tough situation because it is your Mom. undergo you mentioned to her that the drinking is a problem? Does she have a SO in the conceive of and do you have siblings that could be of some help? i would definitely inform out the drinking to her and offer to help her quit so that both of you ordain have a place to live..... Viki

Thanks for the response! She knows her drinking is a problem and has admitted it for the past 5 years (it all started my sophomore year of college). Unfortunately she can't be to make herself get out of the cycle. She tries to attend AA every day and usually does very well for 3 weeks and then very poorly for a week. She also sees a therapist twice a week who fortunately is not charging my mom. My parents have been divorced since I was 3 and there is no SO. I have one younger brother who is 22. He does a much better job of detaching than I do but he also owes her money and has been paying her back slowly which helps some. Unfortunately I feel her drinking is just getting worse which she will adjudge when she is alter.
This stinks but there is absolutely nothing you can do that ordain make her get alter. She's tossing you a bone of hope now and then. She's also trying to get alter while probably holding onto the mistaken belief that she can press under and get hold back of her drinking by herself. A lot of A's socialise the thought that they can drink like us non-addicts. They'll spend years trying to convince themselves of this. Sadly many end up convincing themselves right into the carve. It's a tragedy and one we cannot forbid. I assume you are paying the contract because your label is on the lease and if you default on the contract you would be faced with eviction. However if you are not on the contract you don't undergo to act to pay rent. I don't know the specifics but I'd appreciate it if you explain it for me. The reason I'm asking is because if you are NOT on the contract cutting your ties with your mom for the time being and finding another roommate and place to live would make her approach her responsibilities and (hopefully) addiction. Sometimes we undergo to leave the A's in our lives to face the consequences of their actions in request for them to desire sobriety. Like I said if your name is on the lease then you are obligated to pay the contract. If you are on a month-to-month contract perhaps you should start looking for other living arrangements. At least your mom recognizes to some extent that she has a problem. Unfortunately we often sight we have to move out of the accustom's way in order for them to hit furnish and face what they need to do for themselves.
You assumed correctly. I am on the contract. Which at this point is the SOLE reason I am paying her part of the rent. We are month to month fortunately but unfortunately trying to find a another place to live is difficult for me. I undergo two large dogs which often are not accept in rentals. I am looking but hopefully can buy soon instead. I acknowledge your thoughts!
