Hello, my name is Leonne and I am 16 years old. My mother is an alcoholic. I was wondering if anyone reading this has been faced with the same problem. I''ve been told by several people to talk to family members but I honestly am not that close with anyone in my family and I don''t feel as though I can trust any of them. It''s got to the stage where I don''t want to come home, I stay with friends most of the time and when I do come home I avoid my mum as much as possible. So can anyone give me some advice on what to do?

I am very lucky to have found your website. Recently I wrote about a problem which I face very often.... There were 10 responses from 10 mentors. They have really explained to me and made me understand that I do not have any problem. Your services are wonderful and I am very much thankful to all of you.
I have been mentoring on HM for 18 months. I really enjoy it & hopefully I am helping other people. Recently I posted my my first 'request for a mentor'. I have been completely bowled over by the response. So many people taking their time & making the effort to offer constructive advice in a friendly polite manner. For me it completely validates the intent behind HM. It reminds me how many good, helpful people there are out there. Thanks for providing such a great service.
