Possible triggers.
Bg: Mother and I don't have a great relationship. When I was seven years old my sister was born. My mother began to drink. Her boyfriend at the time was a drug addict and a alcoholic. I was left raising my sister alone.
Fast forward. My mom left my sisters dad and started to get better. Her and I were still not anywhere near to being close as a mother and daughter should be. Though she was getting better I was still raising my sister. Well my mom has been with a guy for four-five years now. He was a okay guy until a week after living with him. He became verbally abusive and constantly threatened my sister and I.
Mom got sober and was for a year nearly two. She was acting like a mother should act. When i was eighteen I moved in with a boy I've been with for two years (now my DF).
Now, yesterday my sister frantically texted me telling me mom was drunk and was being verbally harsh to her. (I would be over there in a heart beat. However, we currently don't live in the same town and we don't have a car). This morning I called my mom to find out she has a viral infection and is running a 102.
My mom continues to tell me that my sister has been acting out lately and has been very rude to mom for the past week. All because my mom is making my sister go school. (Sister was sick all week last week with the same viral infection)
My issue is, I live towns away and have no transportation to see who is lying to me. I love my mom but she has not fully been in my life or my sisters and is known to drink for weeks. If my mom is drinking I have to figure out what to do and how to get her out of that living condition. I'm only 19, Eight months pregnant with my first child and facing the chances of having to fight custody for my sister.
I really don't know what to do at this point. Everything seems to be crashing down around me and no matter what I do it's never enough for anyone. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post something like this.
