<human>: My mom is one of the strongest people I know, but she has had an incredibly hard life. Her 24 year old brother was killed in the war when she was 13, her father was rarely around throughout her entire childhood, she was raped as a teenager, she dropped out of college because she was pregnant, got married and had a still-born child, down the road had another child with her husband, husband cheated on her, got a divorce, married my dad, had me, and since her first marriage she had something like 11-13 miscarriages. She now has a bit of a drinking problem, is constantly stressed and running to take care of everyone, she can never relax, and from what I can tell, she always needs company so she doesn't have to think. The drinking seems to be driving my dad away, and her somewhat common freak outs at my brother and I seem to be driving us away as well. Her father died this past year. I love my mom and she loves all of us more than anything, but she needs help and anytime I try to talk to her about the drinking or therapy or something, she blows up at me, even if every time that she gets upset late at night she talks about the same things. She has gone to therapy a handful of times in the past, but not enough to make any difference, I think she needs to go somewhere else. I'm 21years old, btw.
