yeh i just find talking to friends about it helps really. I'm not doing to bad. I still have the odd trust issue but I have good friends I can depend upon. I would really suggest moving out. I know other people who's parents have drug addicted parents who have got a lot better since moving out. I think if you find just two people who you are close to that you can talk to it would really help. I was lucky enough to have a friend who's been through almost exactly the same thing so that helps

i understand, im 19 and both my parents drink alot more than anyone should, my dad has a temper, and while its never got physical the belittling and the constant put downs, how your told your worthless, you dont deserve anything really start to take there toll. i understand completly about guessing at what is normal, because i had to work it out for myself. there's hope-soon you'll be old enough to go to uni or get a job, things still suck, but they arent nearly as bad

@loveh8relationship

thanks. I'm still only 16 but i have 4 other kids to look after one of which has a mental disorder as a result of all the abuse and three nearly died because she drank so much. My mum's not so bad physically anymore but both my parents are abusive emotionally like name calling and stuff. I have to look after my mum a lot because my dad goes away quite often for work. They both have tempers like you're parents even though my dad doesn't drink so I understand what u mean.

I completely understand how you feel. My real father is a pig my step father the only one that cared died and my mothers been an alcoholic ever since and that was years ago. I'm 16 and when I leave I'll never look back and because of her I'm working hard to make a life for when I have children.

i am going through the same thing ..curses and blames , what happens is the child of an alcoholic gets used to the abnormal environment and misses out on the sane and cultured sorrounding that he /she should have..this creates great problems to accept new things. The only thing we can do is fight..try to heal them and fail again..I have planned on giving my parents anti-alcohol medicines lets see what happens..it would be a disaster again..

Alcohol is fun and awesome and makes getting laid by really hot chicks so easy.

Heya...I'm 21 and have a similar history. Too much details to get into but I would really like to stress the importance of therapy and support groups. I know its expensive and not always easy to get to. I found a good starting point was a book called Adult Children of Alcoholics by Janet G. Woititz. I saw a lot of myself in it and my sister saw a lot of herself in it. It's a not a replacement to therapy but its a good start and really helpful to have as a reference!
