This is a very good video. I hope your friend finds a Alateen group in her area, if none is avalible she should go to an Al-Anon meeting. They can help her,help herself live a life at peace with herself weather the her parent is drinking or not. Try al-anon.alateen.org for a meeting in your area. LOL
This is one of the better clips that i have found addressing this issue. I am doing research for a presentation i have to do in front of class. this has given me some ideas, thank you
I am the adult child of an alcoholic parent and it's not an easy task at all. I am 25 and trying my best to get out and take my kitty with me. This recession is just making it more difficult but as I am realizing with research I am not alone!! Thank you for posting your video because it helped me realize my childhood fears weren't weird or unusual they were common among other children suffering like I did. Good luck to anyone going through this. How is your best friend?
Fuze37 - please seek help from a school counselor or trusted friends parent. I am the daughter of an alcoholic father, he is gone now but it still affects my life. Ive learned from it, learned so much. There is help out there. Im proud of you for seeking it out - talk to a counselor or trusted friends parent, even if you dont know what to say. Try Alateen too - its the support group for children of alcoholics.
@fuze37 Please read a book by Dr Laura called Bad Childhood -- Good Life ".
Even though you are only 14, you can benefit from this book because it will help you to understand that none of their problems are your problems and that its ok to leave your parents when they are just plain evil and abusive whether physically or mentally. The sooner you get help the better. I never did. I am 45 and still trying to heal because I have put off getting help for way too long.
Very accurate. Both my parents were alcoholics. I am now 45 and they have both since passed at early ages related to their alcohol abuse. Depression, insecurity, feeling abandoned, anxiety, ect. All these I feel to this day from my childhood. I just have to remind myself to live in the future every day and convince myself that I am happy, that helps alot.
Thank you for creating this! Wish more would address the children suffering - even the programs I am in do not have a program for the little ones, and I know so many suffering, and all I can do show them love, show them there is hope, and pray their parent discovers sobriety. Great job!
my mom died when i were 8year old and my dad went drinking... drinking... drinking... i was really afraid he would get injured but not anymore cause we moved and now he drinks every 3month. he really had problems with alchol i understood aloot of things that was happening when i were 8-9years old. (sorry for bad spelling)
I've grown up & escaped it, but God I feel for the kids still trapped inside the A.P. life. My parents had violent fights almost daily. Broken windows..holes in the wall..destroyed furniture..big scenes on the lawn for all the neigbors to see...the police at our house. We lived in a small town so everyone knew. Dad drank his self to death at 49 years old and sad to say my life got better. Peace, tranquility & a normal life, never thought as a kid things would ever change.
What a lot of people don't understand is how the alcoholic interupts your life even after you leave home at 18. Family gatherings, holidays are a nightmare. I advise leave & cut off all contact. Your whole life can slip away thinking you can stop them from drinking or things will change. GOOD FRIENDS were the cure for me.
im eleven and my dad drinks but my mum doesnt so i can talk to her and the best thing that could happen to me would be divorce

Good video, but contacting social services could make things worse for the child.
Child abuse is far from unknown in foster care.
