    Hi

    I read your thread before it got locked. I understand where you're coming from (as in, you dont want to play mother to your sisters, but if you dont - who will?). I think Mike is right - you need to talk to your mother and tell her exactly how you feel - it might be enough to snap her out of her selfish ways. She needs to be a mother and put her children before her own needs and wants.

    She's the one that should be feeling the guilt - not you. So you shouldn't need to harm yourself over something that isn't your guilt to carry.

    Hope all is well and PM me if you want to chat any more about it.

    Mo

    You and I realise this Bob (as I stated in my PM) but you cant just assume everyone is in the same logical place as you when you blurt out solutions to their problems. Sometimes tough love will knock sense into someone but sometimes more of an adult or fatherly/brotherly advice will go a lot further than closing down their thread with advice to pretty much wake up and get over it.

    Addictions are addictions - no matter how pathetic you might see them as. And in genuine cases (which I believe this is) a bit of understanding can go a lot further than you can throw your rule book.

    PS - Haha - are you genuinely surprised that the argumentative Mo actually gives a crap about someone? :)

    You just called me an ass?? Bastard. :)

    Yeah I do get your point too - about being fair. Just maybe could have been toned down a bit thats all. Someone in that state can usually be on the edge and one more thing can tipple the topple.

    Thank you guys. and i do get your point about the cutting thing. that is why i don't want to start. because it isn't going to help out the kids any. they are all i am concerned about. and thank you Mo...it was good to see that someone knows EXACTLY what i mean and what i needed. plus i loved when you said "tipple the topple" ^_^".

    everybody in here has an amazing point and i will definately try to put it to the test. thanks all so much for caring. <3

    No worries at all. Glad you can take advice on board. Hope it all goes well for you. And if it doesn't change your world, then just remember your sisters look up to you and need you to be strong for them (especially being too young to understand it all).
