mini holiday

[sarahx]

I am supposed to be going to Wales for a week on Monday and im terrified. Im going to be staying in a 2 bedroomed chalet with my boyfriend, daughter, parents and sister! The journey will take about 2 hours all up mountains etc!!!


But i am more scared of actually staying away from home with my parents. They both like to drink and the problem is that when my mums drunk she often v*s. She knows all about my emet so i tried to talk to her but she shrugged itoff. She said that she wantes to have fun too. I dont know what to do? im so scared someone will v* while we are there.


Im going to be a wreck the whole week. I just wish that my mum didnt have to drink, i mean theres lots of other stuff we could do instead. But she just laughed it off. Guys i really dont know what to do? I cant even pull out of the holiday cause its all booked in my name and they wont let us change that now so if i dont go nobody can....?


I cant sleep cos i just keep thinking about next week and what could happen. Im petrified, and its turned me into a nervous wreck. I cant eat and im so nauseas all the time. I really dont know what to do? I keep bursting into tears because its so unfair, i just wanted to have a nice break with my family. I know this is horrible but id probably be fine if my mum wasnt going... ( thats awful isnt it?


Sorry this post is so long guys....

aww Sarah, i know this is hard but forcing urself to GO on that holiday is a relly good thing for u to do.


if ur mum over-drinks u cud always leave her to it, i.e. go out somewhere else until shes sobered up a bit? i mean- i think it depends on the family whether you usually split off from each other sometimes e.t.c.


try not to even think that pulling out IS an option. because u will only keep getting disheartened wen u realise its not practical. see this next week as a little hurdle for you to get over. and u will get over it. and i expect u might even come home saying " things were gr8! my mum listened to me surprisingly and kept away from me wen she'd over-done things" i think uv done all u can. evrything else, is kinda out of ur control. but that doesnt mean it has to be scary. treat it as an exciting time - if you can. i know its hard =(

I agree with Jenneh. Pulling out or not going will only make it worse. Keep thinking that you are going to have a good time. Think positive. If your mom happens to drink too much, maybe distance yourself from her somehow? Try to focus on fun things that you can be doing there. Try to relax and stay calm right now. You probably will have a good time even though you think you won't. Think positive. [img]smileys/smilies_01.gif[/img]

I talked to my mum again.. she said that she wont over do it, but u kno what its like... once ppl start drinking they dont wanna stop, well sometimes anyway. But ur right, im taking my personal cd player so if anyones v*ing i can listen to some music. Im still really nervous tho, and i wont have u guys to talk to and reassure me lol!! Thanks for the replies tho xxx

At least, your mom said she won't over do it. That's a good idea. Bring your CD player and headphones. Try not to be nervous. You're going to have fun. Remember that. [img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]

You've got the right idea about the cd player and the distance from your mom if she does go over board, but yeah don't back down from this because you might end up having an absolute blast and your mom might get drunk and not even v*.


Try to give it some positive thoughts, this could all work out great!


Have fun and try not to think to much!

Hiya Sarah


I can understand how you are feeling. We go to car shows a lot and last year we attended one which had an overnight camp. Well, as you can imagine everyone was getting drunk and wandering all around the place. Serious panic set in and I ended up resorting to listening to my cd player probably far too loud, but it did seem to calm me down and I couldnt hear anything going on outside (or my hubbie's snoring!!).


From that day I always take mycd playerwith meto block out any sound -and to be honest its a wonderful experience having George Michael singing you to sleep[img]smileys/smilies_02.gif[/img]
