God bless all the children of alcoholics/addicts. I've been clean and sober for almost 7 yrs now...my two youngest children have never had to see me drunk and Im grateful for that...my two older ones did. Thank God for my husband that forced me into treatment. And thank God for AA that has given me a new life. ~blessings to you all.

My dads an alcoholic. It's gotten worse since I graduated college. I miss the guy he was before even though he drank every other day at least I got to see him sober more than I do now. I know I'm not alone but it always feels that way.

my dad's an alcoholic, cocaine addict, and pot addict. He's abusive. My boyfriend is an alcoholic. i haven't seen him for 3+ months because he's trying to get better. He's been abusive. you wish you could have some magic to help you help them get better, and pull them out of the hole they are in. but nothing you do can help. every single day i wake up and i want to run away. I know what it feels like. and anyone who is in the same boat..you are loved by some.i promise.keep your chin up. iloveyou

My sister and brother and myself lived with physical and mental abuse as children due to alcohol as well. Through prayer and faith in God through His Son Jesus Christ, and His promises revealed through His word, I was able to forgive my parents which is essential to recovering from the deep emotional scars left on us.(Psalms 147:3)He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.(Psalms18:30)As for God, His way is perfect;the word of the Lord is proven He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

@9robke123 one way to make her go is to talk to her wen she most normal and wud remember things, or ask your school for help, talk to a councilor if there is one.
