Does anyone have an alcoholic parent

If so any advice on how to stay strong and focus, no matter the consequences that you may experience with your parent going down hell.

Answer #1

my dad was an alcoholic. clearly he still wants to be one. he would always come home and start a bunch of crap with my mom. the fights were horrible and got physical. I’ve had to deal with this my WHOLE life. no joke. and I’m only 15. my life has been really bad. he’s kicked us out and we always keep coming back. he’s not even my real dad. well I always scream and curse and stay on my moms side. I dont know how I’ve survived all my life without doing something drastic. I have anger issues, I know that much. just be careful and stay strong. I thought I was the only one in the world with a horrible life.

Answer #2

There is nothing you can really do just try to stay to your self when they are drinking so you dont do anything to upset them when they are like that. My dad and mom are both alcoholics and my dad did unmentionable things to me and my cousin and my mom kicked me out of her house so just be careful be strong and do what ever you can to better yourself and to stay away from it

Answer #3

Thank you because my mom is one an it is very hard and scary sometime I want to take my own life but I just cant do it I have been praying really hard for a way out an I am seeing results thanks an you stay strong too. believe me I have seen awful situations.

Answer #4

I do have an alcoholic dad and how I put up with it is also to stay strong and I try to ignore the things he says to me, and does to everyone around him. Words and actions are really hurtful, and I’ve been hurt many times because of the advantage that the alcohol is taking over my dad, but then I realize that its the drinks that are making him this way and its not really him. you have to try your best to put up with it, because running away from it is not the best way. I tried doing that and it made things worse. He got even more angry ! so the best way to handle it is to stay strong and try to learn how to put up with it because you honestly cant do anything about it. its there choices and they are making them, not you.

Answer #5

I have a horrible alcoholic father, and he comes home screaming, cursing & throwing things.

I think the best thing to do, is go into your room, & lock the door if you do have a lock and/or take a walk, or go into a backyard, or friend’s house.

just don’t go down to her level and yell back, because it’s just lowering yourself to the alcohol thats taken over her.

be careful, & safe.

goodluck.
