My mom bought a house with her boyfriend for 7 years. They are both Christian, but their actions don't show it. They don't go to church any longer. My mom drinks every weekend but her boyfriend drinks everyday. I think he's an alcoholic. They keep fighting over silly things but my moms heart gets heart broken and she crys a lot to me. I feel like I'm the one holding her head up when she should be holding mine. I don't want to move out of this house they both bought, it's so nice and I've met so many nice people at my new school. I don't want to be selfish and say I would rather stay in this house, but I do want to stay. My mom is making everything complicated right now... Plus she's loosing her job. I just don't know what to do anymore...

Hi ChildofJesus, can I ask you; how is she making it complicated? Is she saying you two need to move out, or stay?

It must be very hard living with a mom who is more like a lost little sister :(.

Do you attend church? Sometimes we need to find older women who can mentor us when our moms can't. You can still love and honor your mom, as God tells us to, but you can also look for love and support from other women. Church is a good place to find friendship and mentoring...not to mention the main thing....growing in relationship with Christ.

Praying for you...guidance from the Holy Spirit into loving friendships with mature Christians...may He lead you to them :).

Why don't you have plan A and plan B. Stay(Plan A) but if things don't work out you have another plan. Just organize your thoughts a little. If next week you had to leave what could you do now to make that easier. Bank accts, money, vehicle etc. Just have plan B on paper or something. They sound very immature. So, don't rely on them.

Sounds like Mom and the BF are Alcoholics. All you can do to help, is encourage her to get mental counselling if she does want to talk to a Pastor. Alcoholics deal with negative thoughts constantly. Try your best to get her to go back and worship The Lord in Church, she is your Mom, lead by example,encourage her. If you don't who will?

Pray about this, and start loving her, hug her, and encourage her always...lead by your own example...I will remember both of you in prayer.. God Bless
