How old are you and if are still in school you have to talk to your teacher or a counsellor in the school. Have you done that? Have you talked to anyone else?

What does she do when she's drunk? Is she violent?

Where's your father?

Do you have a sober adult that you can talk to about this?

Move away and don't look back. Forget her or talk to her/get her help. Try your hardest to get to her for one last time and if it doesn't work,shut her out.

This would be good advice if the OP is an adult, but since we don't know his/her age, we can't expect her to follow this advice. The OP could be 11 years old, 15 years old, heck, he/she could be less then 9 years old.

So, if the OP is too young to move away, what's your advice then?

Well that is why when you join this website,they tell you to be as specific as possible. I got an adult vibe from that person so I answered accordingly but you are right, the person may be one of our younger members of society.
This person could tell a teacher,the police,a friend and that friends parents etc. Those people would probably be willing to help.

Assuming you are a minor, please go to another trusted adult and ask them to help you get out of the home. A grandparent, aunt or uncle, your minister, school counselor, a neighbor - be direct and ask them what you want them to do. For example, "my mother is an alcoholic and out of control - I am affraid of her. Can you help me get out of her house so she can get help and I can be safe?" You may be able to live with relatives or a foster situation while your mother gets treatment, and she'll be forced to get that treatment if she wants you back.

She might be really mad at first, but as she gets away from the alcohol she'll understand more, so don't worry so much about that for now. Just get in a safe situation.

Even in the summer you may be able to go to your school - often the principals and people like that have to work through the summer, and I'm sure if they are there you could talk to them and they would help. They are required to help in such situations.

Best wishes - let us know how things are going for you.

It would be nice if the OP was specific. Heck, we don't even know if the OP is male or female.

You got an adult vibe from the post, I got a child vibe. Otherwise why would the OP have to put up with the abuse? Only a child has no option to leave. An adult can leave whenever he/she wants. An adult wouldn't be scared. An adult could find a way to deal with this.

Sadly the OP hasn't come back, and probably won't, so we'll most likely never know what's going on, or any specifics. Heck, for all we know this is just a made up story. Happens more then we'd like.
