    My family also had its share of problems but once I got out of the house and lived with people with a positive attitude my relationship with them improved. I pitied their negativity and it didn't consume me because I wouldn't focus on that. I focused on improving myself and I think that's the best place to start because you can't change people sometimes. Leading by example can work though. It is a sad situation you're in but if you keep sober and remind yourself every time you behave in an unstable manner, you should not turn out like your mother. Our parents are the best people we can learn from, to be or not to be like them.

    karma is a bitch. Think (or talk) negative about people and you will start to see that in yourself. This is so you are able to see their point of view. Walk through their shoes and be less quicker to judge.

    You rate you father's view of failure too highly. Don't learn to walk because you are just going to fall down.

    Accept failure and then learn to fail better next time. The most desirable use of anti-depressants, is only to assist you in improving your life such that you no longer feel the need for them. That requires you to change either you behavior, your social group or your environment. Seems to me, you have decided to try all three. Go for it!

    I thought this would be a funny post:(
    Try to learn from others' mistakes. Consider her bad habits a warning as to how you could be at her age .
