Is this child abuse? am i the mother? (sorry its kind of long, patience required lol)?

This is a serious issue, and you need to talk to an experienced adult or a counselor about this. It is obviously affecting your life very much. Your mother is being an irresponsible parental figure, and she should be the one taking care of you rather than vice versa.

You have no responsibility to take care of her. If she cannot take care of her body, it is clearly her loss. But you don't have to do anything about it. I understand how hard it must be to watch your mother drink every night and harm her body. Perhaps, find a school counselor or talk to a hotline and tell them about the situation. See if your mother can get help in anyway in dealing with alcoholism.

You need to go to school; your education is most important. Good luck!

This is horrible. And I am so sorry this has happened to you. At a time when she is sober, sit her down and say, "Mom, this is what I need of you. Look at what I have done for you." Name all the things you've done for her, and how she does nothing to help you. If she's about to go out to get drunk, don't let her go. Take the keys to the car. If she gets drunk at home, take all the alcohol you can find and hide it. Take money out of her pockets and wherever she keeps it until you can get help. Call a hotline or a rehabilitation center nearby as soon as you can! You can get your mother the help she needs! I am so sorry this had to affect you in such a horrible way, but I can tell you that you're doing a great job. Good luck!

Call your local child protective agency or the police right now, what she is doing is neglect. You can be removed from the house. If you are removed you should try going back to school an education is very important. Good luck

This is really sad to read. She is neglecting you terribly. Tell a teacher or an adult you trust at school what is happening. Someone needs to intervene here to help keep you safe and help you get back to being a teenager. I'm sorry you are being dealt this hand...but you need to stop it now. Your mom needs help, and at this point so do you. Good luck to you!

There is a group called al-anon for the family of alcoholics. They will really help you figure out how you can help yourself. It is not your job to take care of your mom, the sensible thing is to let her figure out that she needs to take care of herself. You need to go back to school and to create a life of your own. You can talk to a counselor at school, and you may find a place to stay that is away from your mom for a while, so she can figure out that she needs to change her ways.

its called neglect. yes it is a form of child abuse. you can go to a safe house or call the police or even a hot line to get help. its not your job to take care her but it is her job to take care of you. don't give up on school or your life won't get any better. school is also a good place to get help. good luck.

I think it is neglect and it is pretty crappy that you had to quit school to take care of her. You need to get your mom some help...I know you may be thinking why me, but if you are taking care of her now you might as well try to get her help. Don't consult her about it becuase she will just deny the help, just stright up and get her some help....then get yourself back in school...if you don't you will regret it....don't take care of her anymore, get her help and let them deal with it........good luck...

yes its child abuse, your mother needs help and so will you if you continue to "mother" her, shes the mother not you, you are a child yourself, no reason for you to have to grow up fast and miss out on the good things in life

Dropping out of school is not the answer.

wow. your mother should have known what u went through for her. i dotn think u shud drop out of skool. its where u can be a kid. talk to her.

tell the police, i know it will b hard but education is more important in the future
