    I find Christmas the toughest, My Mum is an alcoholic and Christmas is such a hard time for me to get through, has anyone got any advice to keep me strong through Christmas?

    I am dreading it already :(

    I feel your pain....... my dad worked every christmas and my mum was fond of a few.

    I just used to leave her to it and went out....... it wasnt that i didnt care or didnt wanna be with her. I explained to her she was doing her thing I was doing mine. I also told her I would spend time with her when she was sober but when she was drunk I would not.

    In my experience if you begin to accept the fact that they are not really a bad person for what seems like loving the drink more than you....they just have issues and problems that run deeper. Then you can move forward.

    The fact she is still in your house must make it terribly hard for you. At least that factor has been thrown out of our house for years now.

    I don't know how much of an alcoholic your mother is but...is your father around?
    Or how old are you have you already moved out of home and you are only just visiting for xmas?
