    i hate my alcoholic parents!
    well the name says it all... and i am seriously in denial! basically every night my parents drink until their personalities completely change and it upsets me so much that i just end up crying half the night yet the next morning my mum promises me it wont happen again.. but it always will. i tell my self most nights i want to say something when shes sober but i cant get my self to do anything about it... as when shes sober shes a completely different person. i really need advice this just upsets me so much.i really don't know how much more i can take.ive had to put off going to uni for a year because of this as it affects my lil sister just asmuch and i don't want to leave her with all this s*** goin on all th e time

    :/ I can't imagine the situation you are going through, but I will try to figure out something to help you get your parents to the point that you want. Have you thought of having them go to counseling? Counseling can help alot. I'm sure you have already sat them down to tell you how you feel but have you ever tried writing them a letter? When my parents were thinking of divorcing I couldn't find the words to say to them when they were in front of me so I chose to go a different route and wrote to them instead even though we lived in the same household. It allowed me to express my feelings and thoughts in detail.
