my dad is an alcoholic and you can NOT talk to him.. he also does drugs... its hard to tell them something when they dont want to listen they are too busy down and out worrying about their own problems... than worrying about their kids .. i felt the way you do i dropped out of school because of it...=/

hi, things have gotten to a whole new level my dad is getting a lot better but my mum is gettin worse. she calls the police because she thinks that my dad is trying to hurt her and he is only looking out for her safety and guiding her where she needs to go. she has recently been in hospital again because she had 3 fits in the car. my dad is doin everything he can but its not enough and we are preparing for the worst. we need some place to take her, anywhere, we have tried rehabilitation but that only stopped her for 7 and a half weeks. now its spiralling outa control. i need help from someone.

there must be someone, somewhere



i need help

Hi, I am really sorry you are going through this, especially as you are so young. I had alcoholism on both sides of my family so I completely understand what you mean. The mood swings (nice as pie one day, terrible as the devil himself the next), the constant living on a knife edge, drunken arguments etc.

Have you a relative or close friend's parent whom you know will keep your confidentiality initially while things may improve? This will at least be an outlet for you for the time being.

Its a very positive step that your dad is taking, but at the moment his priority I guess is your mum. I'm afraid, that again, I have been in this position and if I could give you a huge hug I would. Heres a cyber ((((hug))))

Take care and you are doing brilliantly,

K
