Sorry I must get so annoying as my qestions are mostly depressing!


Nan drinks too much! She drinks about 3-4 times a week! But she so annoying, moody and over controlling! And we seem to argue a lot more and there is more tension when she drinks and I'm starting to hate her slightly for it (it sounds really mean sorry). And she keeps having ago at me for not eating a enough, which is very frustrating, and just has ago at me for nothing all the time!

What can I do, because she doesn't listen and acts like nothing is wrong! My grandad also gets angry and argues with her too and has also packed twice to leave her, and that hasn't stopped her drinking habit! And the rest of the family thinks it fine but they don't have to live with it all the time, it just gets too much sometimes!

I love her to bits, as she took me in and has looked after me for over a year now, but it's getting out of hand!

what can I do about this situation?

Sorry I sound like a brat and annoying. But thanks for reading!

You and your grand dad can benefit from this sight I think.

Welcome to Al-Anon Family Groups (http://www.al-anon.org/)

And,

http://www.alcoholism-and-drug-addiction-help.com/living-with-an-alcoholic.html


So if you're not sure about the extent of the problem – take a look at these Signs of Alcoholism (http://www.alcoholism-and-drug-addiction-help.com/signs-of-alcoholism.html) and take thisAlcoholism Test (http://www.alcoholism-and-drug-addiction-help.com/alcoholism-test.html) – because they provide pretty accurate indicators as to whether the person you're living with is indeed an alcoholic.


Al Anon (http://www.al-anon.org/) is a fantastic support group for friends and family of alcoholics. Try get yourself to one of their meetings – because you'll find loads of people there going through exactly what you are and who can provide helpful insights into how to deal with the situation you find yourself in.

The best I can tell you and your Gdad is REMOVE yourselves from the situation before you argue, when she is under the influence.
