My mom is currently crying over a guy because he won't give her the time of day. THAT IS SO NOT WORTH CRYING OVER! I try to tell her this, but she won't listen. Then after having a glass of beer, she has a glass of wine.
HELLOOOOOOOO that's REALLY not a smart move... I tell her that too and she says, "yeah, you're right.." and continues to pour her glass of wine.

I can't help her.
/vent

Thought this was the right place to post, if not, feel free to move.

Well, I don't know your mother, nor very much on the subject. But if something as minor as that will cause her to drink, then she probably has a problem.

Or it was an isolated incident.

I know this doesn't give much detail. I don't want to do that anyway, but just venting a little bit while I'm at it.

Apparently it wasn't minor to her, and furthermore since when is using substances to help make yourself feel better bad? How many people in the world are on anti-depressants?

I didn't think people drank for any other reason.

Wait, isn't alcohol a depressant?

Anyways, venting is always good, hope you feel better.

I think it depends on the individual. Some people get worse when drinking while upset, others get happy etc....

As long as she's not hurting herself or others.....maybe have a drink with her?

Sue

Nah, I feel that having a drink with her under those particular circumstances wouldn't be helpful, more like enabling her.

Alcohol IS a depressant, as another poster mentioned.

And i'd say that someone not giving another the time of day is not exactly a major form of rejection.

Has she thought about pursuing someone else? Maybe someone that feels the same way?

I know you just wanted to vent and not get advice, but I couldn't help myself.
