Signs of a Functioning Alcoholic: What Is Wrong With Me?? HELP!!?

Question by Jessica Bellora: what is wrong with me?? HELP!!?
Recently I have noticed I feel really uncomfortable when I am around my mother. She is an alcoholic and has been most of my life. I have noticed when I was younger I have always had a somewhat unnatural attachment to her I don’t know why. I have had to deal with everything that comes along with having an alcoholic for a mother. She has woken me up in the middle of the night screaming at me, I have heard her and my father having sex and saw them doing it twice. I found her naked and had to put her in her room all when I was younger. I mean my sleep at night was always interrupted cause for whatever reason I always felt she was gone so I would go looking for her frantically.These are just a few of the things I have dealt with growing up with an alcoholic mother. I feel very uneasy around her and tense and just all around strange I am 31 I remember her drinking from a very young age at least 8. I just cannot explain why I have these feelings like almost out of the blue. I have no known recollection of her or my father molesting me. I just don’t understand what is going on, can anyone offer some insight please only respond with comments that make sense.

perhaps you’re worried about her, but in a different way. or maybe you’re afraid that by being around her you’ll become like her. just continue to care for your momma like always, and things should get better.
just some things to think about. best of luck to you. I hope things get better
