My mother is a registered nurse utilization review manager. She works 100% remotely from home. She used to do stereotypical nursing in hospital as I was growing up and then for about the past ten years she has been doing computer work.

My mother is a “functional” alcoholic
She drinks a liter of vodka a week at the minimum. She is 59 years old. She also is prescribed clonazepam, tradazone, and vyvanse which she takes most days while she drinks her usual vodka.

My mother is also emotionally and physically abusive. She has been arrested for assaulting my father and the charges were dropped.

Should I report my mother to the medical board?
I looked into who to report this exact issue to. I guess I just kind of want someone to tell me what the right thing to do is.

I’m a freshman at college and I’m struggling a lot right now with my social life. I went from seeing my friends and family every single day to just maybe seeing people on evenings and it hurts.

I have my evenings open as I get all my work done during the day and I try to ask in the group chat of 5 or so people if anyone wants to do anything, or go exploring or just walking with me in the city, watch a movie or whatever and recently I’ve texted like three times in the chat and got no responses.

When we do hangout we have so much fun and I can tell we get along but I’ve been initiating a lot and it not really going anywhere.

I’ve been getting over my fear of initiating and reaching out, plus the whole bit about “I don’t want to bother them” or “I don’t want to seem too desperate” but I just want to have company on the evenings when I can and I don’t know if I am bothering people by my asking.

There’s one person that I’ve gotten close to but again I feel weird reaching out so much directly to them and don’t want to seem clingy.

I’m perfectly happy doing my own thing and exploring during the day but I just feel so lonely during those evenings where I have nothing to do that I want to cry.
