My mom just came into my room and talked to me. She's drunk. She isn't very drunk, but she's drunk. This has happened once before and it completely altered my perception of my mother forever. What happened is we were watching a movie, my mom dad and I. We had paused it and my dad was out of the room my mom complemented me in French. Something about my profile. I made an issue about her moving the pillow. I shouldn't have. Then we got into a fight and I left the room, I slammed the door and the door to my room. Then my dad who was in the bathroom asked who slammed the door. My mom and dad got into a fight. She couldn't control her volume which was part of what tipped me off to her being drunk. Then my dad left, just for a walk I think, but he's gone. My mom busted into my room furiously telling me how it was all my fault, she complimented me and now my dad thinks she's drunk and he's out wandering the streets... She just came back in, she is soo drunk. Oh my dad better get back soon. She seems to think that he will never get back, that they will get divorced. She is like a child. Honestly a child. I can't post the whole thing right now. Tomorrow she will talk to me, she will say she is sorry she was drunk, she and my dad will not get a divorce, everything will be back to normal. But she hates me. It is just the alcohol, but she hates me right now. My perception of her is again altered forever. Right now I am scared, my dad is not home and he didn't bring his phone (what if he doesn't come back), my little sister and two friends are in the basement and I don't know what to do.

Never mind, the situation is over. She wasn't drunk, she had just lost control. She apologized, my dad came back. Now I feel incredibly silly for writing this. Oh and for the first time ever I called kids help phone which was probably was a really good idea because what I needed was someone to talk to.

Hey Moonlight ~ I just wanted to add, don't ever feel silly for asking questions or for needing to talk about anything. I grew up in a household where what you've described here was quite common, and I know too well what that stress level can feel like. I'm glad you called a helpline, and I hope you have/can & are building a good support system in real life.

The most stressful part it that this is very uncommon in my house. But I'm fine. Good to know that someone else understands how stressful it was though.
