i know exactly what you went through my dad is an alcoholic prick and he always is verbally abusive so whoever has parents like that hang in there.... you'll make it
Both mine are alcoholics - it sucks, really does. But I exploit it; Easy roof over my head until she dies, im storaging money hidden in a bank account. Asoon as she dies I will be moving onto my own little flat - infact im also building my own online business so that I can get extra income. For people with Alcoholic parents all you need to do is exploit it - I have installed locks on my door and lock them out, put my head phones on and blast music - they get bored and give up then.
So since we had economical problems, i couldn't stay by myself and no one could watch over me they used to take me to AA and Al-Anon meetings. Of course, back then i had no idea what it meant. When i grow up, i realize what was going on, i heard quite awful stories, so i have been a straigh edge (no drinking, no smoking, no drugs) since i was a teenager. Try to imagine how rejected i was socially speaking. Has anyone else gone through the same?
My story is quite different from most of here. My dad drank for nearly 30 years, but i only saw him drunk maybe three times.
They had me at a quite advanced age (44 and 38) and he stopped drinking when i was like two or three but the memory of him drunk, going with my mom to pick him up to horrible places (REALLY ugly, dirty disgusting places full of roaches and bed bugs)is still quite vivid. I know it sounds ridicule but I DO remember it. I`ll continue in other comment...
girl i know exactly where youre coming from. when this happens you feel so alone in the world you forget others are dealing with the same thing. you were lucky to have two parents though i only have one so there is no other place for me to go. im almost 18 though so hopefully i can move on soon...
you hang in there. i'm 42 and my father died 6yrs ago and he was the alcoholic in the family. I'm still being effected by this dysfunctional behavior i grew up with. It gets worse only when around my family, but had to move back in with mother and have to seek therapy to just make it through the day. so hang in there, there is help for everyone.
Someone said to me earlier after an 'episode', "I want to tell you, it' not your fault." I'm 25 and that's the first time anyone has said that to me. I left home at 15, ten years later, I'm ready to be seperate from it. Your video gave me the tears I was ready to shed, to find some positivity in a negative reality. Thank you.
Very moving video, I'm sure it is going to resonate with many and ultimately be helpful to the young ones who are going through it right now. Nice work.
To all you hurting, hang in there. Become your own person and remember that you are better than them. Also remember that just because you are distancing yourself now (really they are distancing themselves from you but you know what I mean) that doesn't mean you can't bring them back into your lives later. Stay strong, I'm here for every single one of you.
Yeah, my mom is an alcoholic too, and because of the religion I was raised into, it's complete taboo to drink, so her drinking has been kept in the closet. I don't talk about it with anyone. I mean, my oldest brother was around it too, but completely unaware of the entire situation since he's autistic. Even if he could notice, he "literally" wouldn't feel any emotions about it.
It's a terrible thing growing up with an alcoholic parent. I'm so sorry you and your sister had to go through it too.
You are an incredibly strong woman for posting this video and re-opening an old wound. My brother is a recovering alcoholic and I'm so proud of him, but the things he did when he was an alcoholic will never be forgotten nor will they ever stop hurting. Again, you are a strong woman and I commend you.
Stay strong!

I hate alcoholics. No offense, but I think they're all ignorant fucks.
