We both sometimes feel alone or scared. You aren't the only one with an alcoholic parent. 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 confused and scared by how my parents were acting. 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.
The disease makes them do mean or stupid things that they would not do if they didn't drink. You can't control your parent's drinking or stop it. It is not your fault. You are not the reason why your parent drinks. You did not cause the disease.
