(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay, i don't wanna put my business out there like that, lol.

But i feel this is needed because i don't know what to do about this entire situation.


Let's just say my parents (mother and stepdad) have a bit of a drinking problem.

and no, neither of them abuse me or my siblings, they're just dumbasses. (mainly my mom.)


Anyways, my mom doesn't know her limits, on anything. My stepdad sometimes works nights, so from 10am to 11pm hes at work.

His license is currently suspended, and before you guess, no it wasnt anything serious, i forget the reason why though. So, my mom has to drive him to work everyday, and pick him up as well.

Well on these night shifts he has, she thinks its an all out ticket to buy a 5th of vodka and get hammered.

(she gets very fucking annoying may i add)

So when it was time to pick my step dad up from work, she left with my two younger siblings as usual.

I thought nothing of it, just another night of her stupidity.

When my step dad and her arrived they told me that my mom had totaled the car.

As soon as i heard that i knew damn well it was my moms fault, not the person who hit her.

and it was.


She wasn't hurt, and my siblings weren't either.



I'm glad to hear that, but im so annoyed and frustrated with my mom.

I've told her several times, if she doesn't stop this bullshit with her drinking it will get her into trouble.

She could've killed the other driver, or killed herself and the kids.



BUT GET THIS.

as soon as they're home, and they tell me, what does my step dad do?

he goes out, and buys some more booze.


By the way, he wasnt in the car when they crashed, he was still at work, they had to call my stepdads mom to ride them home.


but getting back to what i said, HE BOUGHT MORE BOOZE.

ARE YOU FUCKING DUMB?


So my question is, should i confront them about this?

I really can't keep my mouth shut anymore.


Also if they buy booze, should i immediately pour it out when i see it?

I know its a dumb thing to ask, but what would you do in this situation? How should i approach this?

please dont be a dick about this shit either.

Yes, I would tell someone about it. Throwing away booze would just make your parents buy more since as you say (no offence) that they are "stupid".
I really feel for you bro. I just can't imagine it happening to you. Hope you and your siblings really would get through with this.
All the best man,
Alan

You should try to get a decent conversation with them and talk about the future with you're parents what they wanna look like over 10 years.

Make a point that this has to stop.

Sorry for my garbage english.

Goodluck

I would honestly try to be assertive with them. Just sit them down and say that you have some important things that need to be addressed, and then state your concerns and that you may think the drinking is becoming a bit too much. Hell, try and be the parent by getting them to pace their drinks, that would be a start if they don't completely listen. I have had several alcoholics in my family and I'd say the worst of all is my nan. She gets my pa to go out every weekend and buy booze (nothing too bad, just vodka cocktails and such) but she can't go too long without a drink and when she does drink she doesn't know her limits, gets very bitter, starts arguements, and emotionally hurts her loved ones.

It's not anything like your situation, but it's an example to say the least Your mom and stepdad are putting lives at risk, you need to try to be the one to make that change.

I would talk to them both, when they are sober. And I wouldn't suggest pouring it out as it will just piss them off and it won't solve anything. If you want them to be mature, be mature with them.

Dead serious.. let em drink bro. Eventually their livers will give in and they'll have to stop...


I would know, myself and several friends have drinking problems.

Believe me, that wouldn't do anything.

My stepdad, he can stop i believe, because he's got more of a mind than my mom.

However, my mom, she doesn't learn.

She is a former addict, and time after time we've gone through this shit with her.

I've been taken away because of her habits before, lol.

She doesn't wanna stop until its the last second and her lifes in danger or her kids are about to be taken away.
