Input: My mom is an alcoholic. She has been for years and years now, but it only really hit me about 7 years ago when I was 12. Since then, I’ve slowly become resentful towards her because of her drinking, as has my sister and my dad. 

She is a wonderful woman if she wants to be and is sober, and I love her dearly. She has depression as well, and it hits her hard sometimes. 

As I was applying to colleges last year (18M), I knew I wanted to leave the area so I could get away from her drinking and live the college life like my older sister. I ended up staying and going to the local state school due to cost, but I regret it. When fall semester started, my parents moved downtown, which made my moms drinking problem worse. In October, my mom found texts to my dad from another woman, which set her off, I came home and she was drunk and crying and I was left to comfort her as my dad left, and came back. I supported her as best I could. They’re still together, but this only worsened her drinking. She told me my father has been cheating for a while. 

Fast forward to this last week, my mom finally admits she is an alcoholic. She is crying and telling me that she’s going to get help. I told her I’m here for her and support her. She said that I don’t need to forgive her, but she wants to make it up to us. My family has always had to tiptoe around what we say to my mom or else it may set her off into a depression spiral, so I did not get to tell her how I really felt. She has hurt me many times, and my sister doesn’t even want to speak to her anymore. 

So today she comes into my room and asks me what’s wrong since I seemed a bit cold today. I tell her that I am still trying to take everything in and I need some time to be ok. I did not mean to hurt her, but I wanted to let her know that I can’t be super friendly right now because I need to think about things. She has put me on an emotional rollercoaster the last several months and especially this last week. I know things have been rough on her especially, but I cannot always be her therapist (though I try when she needs it) and not be expected to have my own feelings about things. 

She was clearly upset during dinner and went straight into her room afterwards clearly depressed about the situation, on the verge of tears. She said she didn’t want to be ignored in our own house, which my dad and I weren’t at all. 

AITA for trying to be honest with her? 

TL;DR: Depressed, alcoholic mom asks me what’s wrong, I tell her I need time to figure out how I feel about her alcoholism, she gets upset.
