So blame him for this one. Feel free to just walk on by~
Well, first of all. Teenager. Hormones. Lawl. Prepare for mass "oh wah world's out to get me"ing.
Friday: Mom goes out barhopping for, what, the third time that week? Generally wouldn't care that she does this almost every night, but leaving me to babysit my brother with no pay due to "family duty" gets kind of grating after a while... not to mention she was on call at work that weekend and probably shouldn't be out drinking, but not my business so why should I care... mom then staggers in at 11. More accurately, her friend drags her in because she's walking sideways and falling over. Mom proceeds to scream and swear and cry at everyone for the next HOUR until we finally get her up to her room. I go downstairs, scream a bit myself, pass out.
Saturday: Mom finds out just what she did. She seems to find it rather funny. Um? Whatever. Also, I woke up at 4:30 AM because mom got a call and had to take it in the kitchen. Right outside my bedroom door. When we have a whole house to be taking tech support calls. Trivial, but what? Basically just avoided my mom on this day. Was still pretty ticked off at her.
And then the REALLY fun stuff - made a new friend about a month back, we've been talking a lot, she's really neat and thinks I'm really neat, we have a lot in common, and all of a sudden she asked me out.
Online. First time that's happened. I turned her down and proceeded to feel like crap the rest of the night when I knew I shouldn't have. Which made me feel even crappier. Super~!
Sunday - WHAT IS MY MOM'S OBSESSION WITH DISHES SHE YELLED AT ME EVERY TIME SHE PUT SOMETHING IN THE SINK AND I DIDN'T WASH IT WHAT WHY AM I WASHING YOUR DISHES WOMAN. We also called her friend over. Her friend and her boyfriend both talked to her about Friday night, how she was completely wasted, she needs to learn self-control, maybe she should stop drinking for a bit, she nodded and said she understood. Friend left.
"Mom: Boyfriend? Could you go get a case of beer?"
"Boyfriend: But... but we just..."
"Mom: *puppy eyes"
"Boyfriend: *gives in like the jellyfish he is. He's nice, but a jellyfish.*"
Monday - Didn't suck too hard. Had state testing which is always stressful, but was still an improvement. Though mom did unload on me that she couldn't see herself marrying her boyfriend and can't keep living with someone she won't marry and if things still aren't looking good next year we may move out. We just moved IN. I'm sick of this moving business, really. And besides, who unloads that on their kid, especially when nothing's certain? Ugh...
Tuesday (which is today!) - Mom's in some sort of inexplicable "EVERYONE HATES ME" funk. She actually freaked out at her boyfriend because one of their coworkers called him... because that means all her friends only put up with her because their really his friends... or something... I didn't get it. Don't think he did, either. I just told him he'd get used to it (no, I wasn't eavesdropping, she did this over dinner) and left him in his confusion. Poor guy should run while he has the chance, I hate to say... but her screaming is unfortunately contagious and now I feel crummy for it. Like I should do something... though WHAT, who on Earth knows.
...I'd be dead if mom new about this place. =D
Well, that's my week. Typing is helpful. ...though maybe I should just go get a LiveJournal or something.
JUST IGNORE THIS POST NOW I FEEL LIKE AN IDIOT BUT I ALREADY SAID I'D DO IT SO W'EVER, RIGHT?

I was hoping it wasn't something THAT extreme. I'm sorry and i feel bad for you. It seems like most of the people I know have parent(s) that abuse alcohol. It sux, especially if they don't wanna help themselves for their children's sake. The only advice i can give is to just try to find an escape from that... but then again when your stuck babysitting without pay, you really don't have a choice 
But hey, if you have people that are understanding, sympathetic, and treat you like a good friend, then that make's up for this situation bringing you down. FYI, I'm a GREAT listener, so if you ever feel like just ranting or need someone to talk to, im here.

Typing does help, i do it all the time even if I don't post it. Alcohol sucks, I just know everyone is going to come to grad piss ass drunk
