I know everyone is trying to be really helpful to this girl, but please remember she is only 13-15 and lives in the UK, not in the USA and suggesting she calls 911 may just confuse the issue for her.

I'm sure IF this young girl was a member of a church group, or any local community support group, she wouldn't be on here asking for help, and worrying about her mother, although vital if things are to improve for this girl - the FOCUS MUST be on this young girls safety. In the UK we have heard of several recent cases of child abuse with tragic endings, and although none of know the FULL severity of this young girls situation, lets err on the side of caution and lead her to EASILY accessible organisations here in the UK, that she can FIND on the internet or local authorities.

I only hope she comes back and reads our posts, as I definitely want to follow up on this one, but mostly know how she is, and that she is doing something.

You sound like the same girl! that her mother threw the french vanilla ice cream in your face when you took her some. and you are staying w/ your nan, if you are? and im sending you another reply. you need to get some help! where is your father? do you have any sisters or brothers? if not you need to call 911 and get away from her sweetie, your mother needs help! she is sick but not in the way you might think upset stomach. its in her head she has a diease and you need to call 911 or family and stay away from her. don't wait another minute she can hurt you not that she wants too? but she will get out of there. p.s. i think you said your father left her and she was mad at you for that? and i told you its not your fault they are the adults and should know better and should love you and watch over you and keep you safe!

Best Wishes!

Moo's Mum agony auntJilly is right don't try to deal with this alone. Even a trusted teacher would be able to help you talk to the right people about this. Something has happened to your Mum and she needs professional help.

Oh sweetie,

How absolutely dreadful for you - I want to hug you, protect you, but for now I hope I can offer some comfort and good advice for you.

Lets me try to get some facts - you are 13-15, alone with your Mum who is drinking heavily? That's what I gleam from your question, so Dad around? Is she only threatening when drunk or all the time, NOT that really makes much difference, just merely trying to establish if it 's brought on by drink.

You MUST seek help especially as this has become threatening towards you, it is not acceptable for your Mum to treat you in this way, regardless of the help that she obviously needs herself.

Do you have a friends mum you can tell, other family, your Dad..as you can't shoulder this alone. Making such threats are serious and completely alarming for you. If you don't have any family or friends you feel you can open up to, please, please call CHILDLINE it is free: 0800 1111: get help and advice about a wide range of issues, talk to a counsellor online. send ChildLine an email or post on the message boards. This way you will not be alone, and should not be with such a difficult situation.

I wish I could do more for you, as I want you to be safe and NOT scared, to sleep safely as you deserve.

Please let me know you have taken some step towards contacting an adult, friend, family or Childline..please, I want to know you are ok.

You can email me privately if you wish..I'm here for you.

Now please DO what I have suggested, you cannot shoulder this alone.

Take care,

Love Jilly x

Hello,I read your question with great intrest,firstly can I say that you are very brave to ask for help,and you shoud be very proud of yourself.It is not easy when a parent is drinking,like your mum is and saing things like she is too you.When someone is drinking heavly,sometimes they either dont want to stop or cant without help.Try and talk to you dad,or mabe an aunt or an uncle or your teacher,explain what is going on and that you are worried about your mum,and explain what she says to you.Please rember you are not alone,talk to the people that I suggested.Ihope that I have been some help,take care D G O
