Drama
This weekend had a bit of drama in it. Friday after I got off work I went down to my mom’s (which is a pretty long drive…it can be an hour and a half or more). I think it was Saturday night my mom was drinking. I was putting a puzzle together (exciting, I know.) and she sat in a chair next to mine, raving about how smart I am (normally a kid would love to hear that from a parent…but yeah, no). Then she blew up a balloon and it escaped from her and flew to the other side of the room. I wasn’t even looking at her when I said, “Mom, was that really necessary?” When I didn’t hear an answer, I looked at her and she had her hands over her face and she was crying. UGH I hate dealing with soppy drunks.
My sister told me that our mother had gotten drunk a few weeks ago and tried to hang herself in the barn. WTF.
My mother needs help.
Other than that, we had a Labor Day picnic at my mom’s and pretty much the whole family showed up, even my grandma’s sister. It was the most functional get together of a dysfunctional family, so says my aunt. It did go well, which was a little surprising.
Anyway, I forgot my wireless router at my mom’s, so I will be internet-less this week except when I’m at work….so not much blogging or reading blogs this week, sorry guys!

aww so sorry girl …i hope your mom gets the help she needs <3
I hope your mom gets help. I am sorry you are going through this right now. And come back on when it time.
D:< at crying drunks!
Or pathetic drunks.
My mom used to drink and then she’d try to talk to me and i’d almost ignore her because i hate talking to people when they’re intoxicated so then she’d be like “don’t you love me? are you embarrassed by me??” It’s like, holy shit woman, shut up!
I’ve never been around a soppy drunk, but that seems like it would be almost worse than an angry drunk.
I am sorry to hear about your mom.
At one point in life I served as a bouncer for a club. There were drunks that I hated and drunks that I didn’t mind. I hated the sad depressed ones and the ones who would become aggressive and would always try to start a fight. I hope your mom can find help.
i’m really sorry to hear about your mom.
i have suicidal tendencies myself so i know it’s best for me to stay away from booze. i’ve never been drunk and i never wanna be.
