I am a daughter of a depressed/alcoholic mother…. How to handle it?

  • Posted on August 16, 2010 at 12:17 pm

I am 24 in a month and have been living on my own since i was 15. I have 2 sisters. One which is a half sister due to her being adopted out when she was born. Anyway i live in Minnesota and my mother lives in South Dakota. She lately has been battling depression pretty badly. She made an attempt to live in Minnesota with me but when she came here she just cause allot of problem. She got drunk and tried to beat up my roommates and kick them out of my house. She’s broken up prior relationships in my life. So lately i have been struggling. I am losing my home due to foreclosure and i lost my utilities at the beginning of last summer. I went 6 months with no electric or heat. I depended on friends to help and they did. Recently i needed to get some heat on and needed some help. I asked my mother and she told me to Fuck off. Then i ask my father and he had paid for my step sisters stuff instead of helping me. I don’t ask for help ever. But this triggered a big fight with my mother. She saying im only calling for money and that’ it. I talked to her roommate and she turned her phone off and is moving out. He’s worried about her and so am i. I have tried to talk to her but she keeps putting me down for not taking care of her. I can’t be the mother here. How do i handle something like this? Do i stop talking to her? There’s so much more to the issues but not enough time to type it all. Help can i get some advice??
