Some people came from homes that were more messed up than mine, and other people came from homes that didn't have as many problems as mine did. You aren't the only one with parents who drink too much. There are a lot of us here. But now, I want to tell you some things about alcoholism that I wish someone had told me when I was a kid. Maybe these things will help you understand a little bit better, and maybe you won't blame yourself the next time your parents drink too much.
Alcoholism is a disease.
Maybe the disease makes them do mean or stupid things that they would not do if they didn't drink. You cannot control your parent's drinking. It is not your fault. You are not the reason why your parent drinks. You did not cause the disease.
