i'd like to add that often you feel responsible to look after them/one of them in a way or another, as if the roles of a parent and a child were reversed. also you can be extremely anxious, because they/one of them change completely with drinking.

With your complete family being alcoholics and many dying because of that, I started looking after my father who is the person near to me. I started going to sleep at sometimes 1am in a school week, simply because I was waiting for him coming home safely. I still feel sad whenever he is sitting downstairs with me, looking bad because of that hangover. I still cry whenever I hear him run to the toilet. I still want to shout at him , whenever I look into his eyes who took one a hello colour because of his liver slowly getting sick.

Especially while they're drunk. When I was a teen, I found my mom sitting sideways in a chair, however, she had fallen backward, unable to right herself and bracing her palms against the floor. Her face was a deep red and she was totally wasted. Before she noticed me, I stood a good minute in the kitchen entrance weighing the consequences of either helping her or going upstairs and pretending I didn't see her. Come what may. Maybe she dies. Maybe we live with our grandparents and the abuse is over. Inside the space of a minute, I settled on helping her. We continued to suffer her abuses until we moved out.

Then she kicks me up to my room she slaps me I go on tik tok and chill and feel better. Then she is coming upstairs and I get afraid. Then now she is in my room yelling at me for no reason moving closer to me like she is gonna beat me up. I'm currently crying I feel worthless I feel like I shouldn't be on this world. Don't get me wrong she isn't drunk every day but the days she goes out to by drinks she gets drunk and those are the worst times ever. I just want to run away. :(

This upset my whole family badly and I was told I had no right to do so because he was my father and I should accpt him the way he is. I stood my ground and accepted that my family is poorly educated about mental health. The first year was hard and the result of his alcoholism is becoming more aparent but I didn't regret it once. Never accept anyone with such horrible affects to your life and just because they are family doesn't justify it. If anything it makes matters worse.

When it comes to parents like these you can't(even if you still want to) let them back in. They need to(figuratively) fall on their ass and pick themselves up to even start being a decent person. And even then it will never be a normal relationship, and still have watch for signs of relapse. Talking from far too much experience with this.

Such parents are manipulative so don't be tempted to fall for it. I'm proud of you for taking such a huge step, it's not easy but it in the end it will do only good. Stay strong💕

Okay, here goes my story. So I'm 15 years old and my mum has far too much alcohol. I'm not sure if I class her as an alcaholic though. Through the day she is fine but later on at about 7 o'clock she turns to alcohol. She has 3 bottles of wine every night. This is when I know to stay out of her way because she shouts at everyone for no reason and tries to cause unnecessary arguments. She has went to hit me a few times but I got out her way in time. This has been goinf on for a long time now, probably about 4 or 5 years. But it's only recently I've discovered what is actually wrong with her. I have a 9 year old brother who isn't fully aware why she's like this. But we are not close at all, if I had a problem I could never ever talk to her about it. I once was having panick attacks and feeling down all the time and I finally told her, she just said "its just a phase, you'll get over it" it became so bad that my nana took me to the doctors and I had anxiety. I was close to depression but I got out of it in time. I'm scared to talk to any of my friends about it imcase they judge me. I relate to all these in one way or another.

This is oddly relevant not to me but someone I know. In my class there's a boy whose dad is an alcoholic and parents are abusive. The thing I've most recognized is his social behaviors. His parents keep him in the house as they are very controlling. He'll be going on a trip to Washington D.C and his dad ripped off the info to the kids schedule in order to know where he is going to be at. He asked our teacher if she's could make an excuse so he didn't have to call them. He's constantly saying things to our teacher like "your better than my Mom" and while he doesn't say it as much he used to say things like "I'll see you tomorrow as long as I'm not dead" and " it was nice knowing you all" it may seem a little dramatic but then you have to remember the situation he's in. His father when picking him up looks at him with disgust, he's run away twice and had to refuse foster care so he could protect his little brother. Back to social behaviors he's almost always jumpy more so than most. If you get to close he flinches and he'll jump if you touch him. He also has problems relating to people when we're taking about things that happened when we were younger and just the nonsense of life. To completely normal things he'll be confused and he genuinely doesn't understand some of the simplest phrases. I'm just glad he finds joy in his poetry even if it's rarely happy and that he found a girl he likes. I just wish I could do more.

Maya Hamilton sounds like a textbook case of PTSD. I wonder; is he with the girl he likes? If not maybe you can try to hook them up? Having normal relationships helped me out a lot. Other than that, just be there for him. Talk with him if he needs it. You don't have to outright say it but as long as he thinks someone cares it makes life much more bearable. Eventually he might get to the point where he can live a stable life. Hope it helps.

I’m going to be 25 this August and I never realized just how bad things were in out family. My Grandfather was an abusive alcoholic, and my Dad’s right there behind him. I’m stuck in this house taking care of my Grandma (who’s addicted to opioids) while my Mom’s in the hospital and when Dad comes home from work and has days off…I get nervous as hell. I’m at a crossroads where my life is already a quarter of the way over, yet I have no direction or identity in who I am or what I want to be. I’ve always wanted to pursue my passion for music, but felt like nobody would be willing to listen, and considering it’s “not a real job,” then I’ve essentially caged myself in fear and anger, but always wanting to feel…cared about. I don’t consider myself an attention-seeker, I just…need validation to feel better. If I do something wrong, I blame myself. When someone else is in pain, I blame myself. My self-doubt, self-hatred, and fear of conflict from living with an alcoholic family hurts more than anything I’ve ever felt in my life. And the worst part is, I’ve told my father what he’s done to me while he’s drunk, and he still continues to drink and take his anger out on me anyways. I don’t know, maybe I’m just putting this here because I don’t know where else to go or who else to talk to, but if you’ve read this far, then I can already say that you’ve shown more love and care for a stranger than I could have ever asked for, and that means a lot to me.

It make me want to cry so bad seeing how relatable it is. My story goes back when I was 4. My dad was never a good father. He would always go drink and during those time me and my family would always have to move house to house. And during those years were torture. Seeing my mom and dad fight and sometimes see my dad try to hurt my mom honestly traumatize me even to this day. I would cry out to my dad telling him "no papa please stop" and he would continue. It was the same every where we go. Until I was seven that when it all change, that day my dad was very drunk and he and my mom were fighting, then he physical punch her in her head and made her bleed and that when we called the cops and he was arrest. I felt useless when I seen my mom with the bruises. Now my father isn't in my life. We had to move on from that life and move forward. Now I'm too insecure, shy and I do terrible in school. I'm 14 year old about to be 15 in a month. But this is my story and I hope everyone else who took their time to read have a good life and don't end up like my mom and dad was but I'm glad my mom work hard for me and my siblings.

I survived two abusive parents, one was an alcoholic and the other I have no clue if they were on drugs or possibly drinking every night. It is okay to let them go! Don't let anyone try to guilt you into thinking you can't write them out of your life because "X person doesn't have their parent, they died". Just because someone has it worse off than you doesn't make your problems less valid!!! Don't feel obligated to "fix" them or find them help, because ultimately it is their choice to find help (this goes with all types of abusive, mental disorder, or addicted people). They may say "they can't find the help on their own anymore", but I'm telling you it will eventually come to that point in their lives where they have to make a choice to live or die. If you've gotten this far into my giant novel of a comment, I hope this helps you and thank you for listening! You don't have to end up like your parents, that I can promise you. We still have free will, regardless of epigenetics.

I am growing up with alcoholic parents and I'm 14, I have been yelled at for my mother has yelled at me my whole life but my dad doesn't get angry because he takes drugs but the drugs can only do so much, my parents are divorced so that has also affected me and the way I think, I now suffer from depression, anxiety and other stress related problems, and I was also born with a heart mermer which is when my heart can skip a beat almost every minute or less, and it has slowly gotten worse up to the point where I can't full sprent for 20 seconds without almost having a heart attack. I have noticed that I am slowly becoming a father figure to my youngest sister and my cousin that is a year older then me looks up too me aswell, everything is going out of control and I don't know what to do so I started to stay home from school and I haven't been there in five months now, and if I don't go I will be taken away and forced to put on a smile and act like everything is alright. Going back to the topic of the video, my father has came put to my house when I was feeling depressed to take me to school but I wouldn't go or even answer because I didn't have enough strength to try, but when I didn't say anything my father lashed out and said I'm worthless and pathetic along with no one loves me and no one ever will. I stand my ground and let no one in because I don't think I can take anymore punches because I have had two mental breakdowns. One was when I was alone, and one was when rage took over and I screamed at my mother for an hour about how I cut myself and how everyone puts me down and how horrible she makes me feel. I have only been on this planet for 14 years and I feel that I have been through more then most people go through in there whole lives. Because of my anxiety and depression I have left my home for countless time in any kind of weather, I have been freezing in a blizzard in the middle of a field and I have been almost having a heat stroke from the sun baking my skin, I no matter what wouldn't go back til I could finally feel some what happy again. I have stood up to a group of kids for bullying one of my old friends and I knocked a few of them on there asses before walking away from them so I didn't kill one of them, I helped my friend not because he was close to me, But because I know how it feels to be put down and beaten. If I can help anyone from feeling and going through pain you can bet your ass I'm gonna try with all I got because I got nothing to live for. I have grown up poor for my whole life, at the age two my father left for a bit and by age 3 my family had to move in with my grandmother and grandfather because people kicked us out of are home. My grandfather was the best man I knew, and the only father I knew til cancer took him away from my family when I was 4. I looked up too him because he was the only one who took every wrong situation and made me feel happy when I felt weak. I remember his face and how he used to push me on my swing and id tell him to push me higher every single time. That is what keeps me on this world, the time when I was happy and I didn't have a care in the world, a time when people I loved picked me up and show me that I could be strong, that I could make every wrong into a right. I guess I forgot how to along the way. I'm crying writing this and I hope you can't understand my pain, because no one should have to feel this. I just wanted everyone in my family to be happy. Now my older sister moved in with my dad. She always knew how to cheer me up when I was sad. In the past year I have had to comfort her and make her feel wanted because she was on the verge of suicide. I helped her feel wanted again and now she fell in love with one of my friends. I have only tried to help but I don't have enough strength to help myself, "I can hold the whole worlds problems, but I can't hold my own." Have a good day.

I am so sorry for what you lived but then i'd like to tell you that you've become a wonderful and strong person, all the things you have been throught, all the people you helped, I hope you'll never forget what you did for these persons. I totally feel you on the last sentence, you might help people a lot, but don't forget that before anyone you need to help yourself and love yourself, it can be anything buying yourself some snacks, ice cream, a drink, doing shopping or buying a game that you really wanted ! I don't know anything about having a normal life but I guess that's what people do ? I don't have anything to hold on to so I'm holding on supercial things that makes me happy because you know that the world needs more helpful people like you that still feel sympathy over others. Treating yourself might being seen as useless and you might feel like you don't deserve it but you do, everyone does, it's essential to learn how to love yourself when nobody does or when you feel so lonely, it might look like a stupid thing but it's not ! I have low key abusive parents too, and since i'm asian and raised with the asian mentality it doesn't help at all, I really feel worthless and unable to do anything because i'm being compared to anyone who is better than me (plus, I'm heading to art class so I guess it's even worse haha) but we have friends right ? I'm so lucky to have wonderful friends to keep me happy and I hope it's the same for you too. Don't feel lonely and if you feel bad then call a friend to talk with I don't know much about you, we're strangers and i'll never be able to feel you as much as you do, but i really hope the best for you because from what i red you really are a brave person and i'm thanking you for not giving up and supporting others, also thank you for sharing your story ! Please create a lot of memories with your friends and live your life fully because we only live once and even if life is really difficult and it will be even more difficult in the future, let's do our best and have the best time we can spend until it's the end ! Wishing all the love for you and all the people here having a hard time, from France ! ♥

Please know that you have so much to live for and things will get better (I know that is SO cliche but it is a cliche because it is true). You have so much life ahead of you and so many more experiences to be had, such as becoming an adult and being able to create your own life. This is such a short period of your life, which I never understood when I was struggling around your age but now that I am coming to the end of my teenage years I am astonished at how quickly they really went by, even if at the time it felt like forever. You have SO MANY life milestones yet to reach. Your situation is really difficult but I can tell just by reading your story that you are a truly good person. What your dad was saying about no one loving you is SO so far from the truth (and I am sure he did not mean it) - you are loved whether or not you can see it. Everything your parents say and do reflect themselves and their own issues - not you. You are not the first to go through this by any means, and that may be comforting for you to know that so many other people have struggled (myself included) but come out the other side stronger and able to bring happiness back into the picture. Remember you have so much more to live for and although it seems like this phase will go on forever at the moment, believe me when I say it won't. I'm on your team and know you can get through this. I really recommend either reaching out to a school counselor or a teacher at school, or if you are not at school at the moment you can see a GP or contact someone at "Beyondblue". You can also call lifeline (13 11 14 if you are in Australia or you can look it up if you are in a different country) if you need. Sending all my support and wishes your way xxx

Here’s my story it’s not that tragic My dad was an alcoholic but he wasn’t an abusive one ( I don’t remember him ever being abusive towards me.) The alcohol really made him weak (he slept a lot) which can be followed by him not eating. He always preferred drinking instead of eating. He wasn’t abusive he actually went to work everyday even though he was drunk he still went to work. He tried his best to take care of me my mom even said he spoiled me when I was younger. I recently found out it was due to his grandpa passing away because he was a father figure to him. His problem got so bad he went to the hospital and we found out he had pneumonia ( I didn’t know what it was because at the time I was 10.) he was in the hospital for 2 month until they sent him to a further one. The same week he arrived we found out he passed away. His death did affect me a bit but it really hasn’t hit me yet (if that makes sense) idk if it’s because I was 10 but now I just turned 14 it’s going to be 4 years since he’s gone and it’s starting to hit a little more.

Even as an adult I still have to deal with my alcoholic father since I live with my parents rn. Every night he drowns himself in alcohol for years and it disgusts me. It also makes him have anger issues and being in a toxic environment with your parents arguing every day doesn’t help. It has definitely ruined our relationship and has made it hard for me to make friends, etc. My fiancé has definitely helped me and I am so glad I am not with someone like my father. In a few more months I’ll be married to the love of my life and away from this toxic, endless loop of alcoholism😔 I never want my future children to go through what I have.

I no longer live with my parents but I have a younger brother and sister that have to deal with her drunkself almost everyday. It makes me feel guilty that I moved out but I know it's not my responsibility to take care of my siblings. I just want her to actually want to become sober for herself and for us.

I just watched this video after I had a fight with one of my parents that's an alcoholic, and this video further proves how much that they need help and how because of their actions my personality has been altered. I cried watching this because it's making me realize everything now and why I am the way I am and why I'm also brought toward friends who are depressed and suicidal and why I'm always there to help. I'm always targeted and yelled and for every little thing I do wrong and I feel like I can never catch a break. I always do try my best but most of the time it's never enough.

One thing about these alcoholic parents are that they never accept their fault and always puts their blame on others...... Like my father is a massive drunkard, remains drunk from morning to night 24 by 7 and puts blame on by mom that my mom is responsible for his condition

I grew up being very confused, and up until this point, I still feel lost. My mom in particular was the type the took in and helped our childhood friends who were going through family home troubles... while my parents completely emotionally neglecting their own children (me and my siblings). We endured a lot of emotional and verbal abuse, and for some of us, it got physical too. My dad was never around for us physically or emotionally. He was a hard worker (and I truly admire that part) but he was never really there for us in any other way (his parents were physically abusive and emotionally distant while he was growing up) when he was home, he would be on the computer watching his shows or youtube drinking, and when he wasn't doing that he was off doing his own thing or fighting with my mom in front of us or yelling at us. I never wanted my mom to leave the house because even though my mother was emotionally unstable, I felt safer with her. I didn't know if my dad would hurt us or yell at us and she couldn't be there just in case... My mother always ignored our family issues making us to believe that everything was normal, going on to help other people, leaving us children very confused. When I went to friends houses and got out into the real world, I realized that it was so, so different. I was so jealous of the parents I saw who kissed and hugged and loved on their children and each other, and respected each other. I didn't know why as a child but now I see it made me wish so so bad that I had that. I always had (and still do) have such high levels of anxiety, panic attacks and ptsd from any yelling or slamming doors, even throwing furniture and items. I still get triggered. I have tried for so long to heal from the past traumas, and now even in my early 20s all I can do is watch my family slip away... my younger siblings will still call me from time to time crying because they found my mom drinking and driving, or because my father is in a rage and disappears. And the worst part has always been that I tried to fix it, I tried to be the adult even as a child, I tried to glue everything back together... The pain and confusion growing up in a dysfunctional family follows you forever... and even when you heal mostly, you will never fully heal. Please never feel like you are alone in this. We can heal together.

I'm 17 and my father is an alcoholic. All I've seen is rage, physical violence, verbal abuse and constant fights and arguments between my mother and father. It's like I've never get to know what a family is. Growing up in a dysfunctional family, i developed some toxic traits of both of them. I fear that one day I'll become like my mother or my father. I go through anxiety, panic attacks and emotional instability everyday. I just don't know what happens with me. I always have trouble expressing my feelings and emotions, I'm always running from somewhere or from someone. I don't have friends, i don't know how to build relationships, i don't know how to form friendships. I always find it hard to socialize, the fear and insecurity never let me feel stable. Fighting for my mental health everyday, i hope that I left this house someday, hopefully soon and start a new life where I don't hear the noises of someone beaten up, and screaming my name. And the slamming doors, the breaking things and the high pitch voices. I hope you understood this Papa.

I am 17 years old, I’ll be 18 in August. I have anxiety and depression. I grew up with a Dad just like this. Constant criticism, lots of drinking, no affection or playfulness from my dad. I had and still have no emotional connection with my dad. Being a teen, i only remember small things about being a kid. 1.) i cried every night in my room because i thought my dad didn’t love me 2.) he constantly screamed at me and called me names. My mom is manipulative and passive agreed and so i recently moved out of her house into my dad and stepmoms house hoping it would be better and also that i could get close with my dad somehow. My mom smokes pot, i do not view her as a parent, she never cooked dinner for me as a kid, she was always at work so i was left home alone a lot. We have been homeless once and we lived with random men who didn’t treat me or my mom right. So i didn’t really have a stable home either. I moved in with my dad about a year ago, and I’ve never felt worse. I’ve been in therapy for maybe 6 months, first it was to help me get out of an abusive relationship with an ex, but now it’s focused onto my family life and me. it’s helped a lot but some days are still really really hard. My dad sometimes gets drunk on the weekends and starts fights at 3:00 am around there. He makes our stepmom do all the work while he sleeps on the couch, drinks a lot, and works. So going through all this and more that i haven’t mentioned, i feel all these on a really really deep level. It’s like I’m just trying to get by everyday, constantly walking on egg shells around my dad, staying in my room trying to get better on my own. My dad AND my step mom make me feel like i need to toughen up and get over my emotions since i am a hypersensitive person. In this house i feel as if i am not allowed to be me or have my own voice. I’m just praying for the day that i can save up enough money and find a full time job and move the hell out of this place. I am tired of asking for love when i shouldn’t have to. And what sucks is my parents make me feel like I’m the one that needs to change for them... i just don’t understand... it’s starting to make me feel crazy for feeling this way, and I’m starting to believe their comments about me. The worst part is i do not think i could ever in my life tell them how i feel in fear of completely losing the only family i have. And fear that i won’t be heard by them, and only shammed. It’s a daily battle.

My mom is a single mother and for years she's been depending on alcohol to cope. It changes her completely. She's mean and petty when she's drunk. She has never been there for me emotionally. And it feels like all the love I should be getting goes to my brothers. (I'm the only sister + the middle child) I've learned to predict my mom's moods when she drinks, and she says a lot of hurtful things to me. Ik she doesn't always mean them, bc the next day she'll try to apologize. She and I have drifted apart and her apologies don't do much anymore. We don't talk about anything and things are always tense between us. But I'm turning 18 this month so I guess we'll both be better off when I'm out.

my dad is an alcoholic, he drinks every single day without fail and it has gotten earlier and earlier into the day. sometimes even starting before afternoon- he gets drunk everyday and takes all his drunken emotion out on the rest of my family. he refuses to sleep, and often argues and shouts at us while we are trying to sleep. i’m afraid of who he is when he is drunk. i only ever like him when he’s sober, it’s like a burst of hope, but it doesn’t last long because soon enough he picks up a lager. the worst thing though, is when he’s drunk around my friends. stumbling into my room with all my friends there and completely humiliating me. in that moment, i feel overwhelmingly ashamed to be related to such an irresponsible and unstable mess of a father. he needs help just as much as i do.

I'm around 13 and it's always been hard to relate to other people and their families. My dad was actually normally a good parent, but I think my mom's addiction was hard on him as well as the rest of us. My mom always said she felt bad about drinking or taking pills, but I think her saying that was what helped form the mindset 'if she really loved us, she would quit'. It's hard to put this all in past tense, since it's all happening right here, right now. Hearing other people's stories both make me feel better and worse. In any case, thank you for sharing everyone (and thanks for reading this as well).

I can relate to this so much. My mom was an alcholic and so was my step dad. My step dad got clean and he is now completely alcohol free but our relationship is strained because I don't trust him, my mom lost the battle and gave up and commited suicide years ago. She was in and out of hospital, she'd get clean, be fine for a month and then go right back to drinking. My step dad was a loud alcoholic whose favourite game was to corner me and yell in my face, to this day I flinch when someone comes behind me and if you corner me and yell at me I am capable of punching you and I also have trust issues, especially towards any man or father figure I've met in my life. I tend to push people away. My mom was the best mom ever when she was sober, she'd listen, she'd talk with me, I could come to her with anything I wanted and she'd always have time to talk. When she was drunk she'd go to sleep and lock me out, yell at me, we'd fight on a nearly daily basis (and it wasn't "No mom I don't want to clean my room because I am busy" type of fighting, it was: "I want my mother to be alive to see me graduate and through major events in my life" types of fighting, she'd nearly burn down the house a few times because she'd leave food on a stove, lock me out and go to sleep and the scariest memory for me is seeing her stumble over the short railing we had on the balcony one time because the fence was being remodeled, she fell from the first floor (around a meter and a half height) and landed on her car leaving a dent in it, she got up and walked off as if nothing happened with bloody hands and a few scratches here and there but that was my scaries moment because I thought that she was going to die. I was around 10 I believe and I've had to deal with that since I was about 5, she moved in with my step dad but I lived with my grandparents and had to stay with her during holidays and vacations and it was a living nightmare especially because my grandparents knew what was up but they were basically like: "Eh she is your mother you have to live with her for a few days deal with it it's not our problem", they kept ignoring the problem until it was too late though.

When i was around 7 years old my dad started drinking (again) I dont remember much but my mom said he "Spoke like a bully" and there was multiple times he would hit me or my sisters or chase us around the house. It was TERRIFYING. I grew really bitter about it after awhile. He stopped drinking after going to Rehabilitation but the worst he's done was scream at my sister for around 10 minutes while she ate lunch about how awful she was, knock over my mom and throw his wedding ring away, and throw a plate at me and raise his fist. Each time this happened i was sobbing uncontrollably and I was so, so scared. During the second one i actually threw up from crying so hard. Now im almost 14 and only recently have I realized it was abuse. I still can't talk to my dad like i do with my mom and personally I dont feel close to him. I can never confront him at all about whats happened and every time he yells at me i shut up and start crying out of fear and disappointment all because of what hes done before. Im fine admitting that i dont love him as much as my mom at all but im still so scared of telling him that. Im also very obsessive when it comes to relationships because im afraid of losing someone.

So in my school are many students who drink so much and one of my friends is scared senseless about them. But I don't care? Why? I got used to it. It's something that shouldn't happen but it does. In our neighboring school are many smokers and people who abuse medicine. That is kind of a theme here, If you don't do something bad for your health, you don't live.

My dad never hit me. But on occasions in which I would interact with him when he was drunk, he would sometimes blurt out things like "You're Good-for-nothing" or "Your sister is better than you". And I knew he meant it. My dad's the type to not talk much and not yell unless something really pissed him off. He and my mother would find everytime he came home drunk, which was mind you, everyday. It sometimes would get to the point where he would threaten to kill himself or sometimes try to jump off the balcony. I used to put on my headphones and close the door while they fought, still able to hear them from the other room while my headphones blasted music at full volume. My sister used to sought them out but now that she left for uni, I have to step in. Which scares me, because when I look at him I don't see my father and I can't hide anymore. I try my best to stop him from yelling any further or doing anything with the rising fear of him hitting me, or even worse, doing something to himself. I try my best to study hard so I can get out of here, get my mother out of this toxic marriage and also do something for my father. For future parents, please, don't be a monster for your kids.

I hate it that I can relate to this, because I wish that I couldn't I have an alcoholic father, who denies his alcoholism - he spends money on his drinks and berates us for wasting money on our own hobbies - to top that off, he is more religious than my mother - and thus makes things a lot more god related than they have to be. Currently, I am 19 and have been through this ordeal starting the age of 5, perhaps 8 years - so I'm living with this for 14 or 11 years When I was younger, I recall my father and also my mother being overly strict on us, even beating us when I laughed or had fun about something they disliked. Mostly my father would push his opinion onto me and destroy whatever interests I had by spreading doubt within me. Now, I stopped caring about what will happen to me, what I do and how my life is going to continue. Living this long with someone who suppresses you and everything that you want to be, everything that makes you different from others, individual - you can't afford to care anymore, it's scary how it's a routine I am bound to and unable to escape, because I can't afford to care about escaping it either - I feel tired of it. I have very little friends, and spending time with them is more than enough to make me feel happy. But I also feel like I could lose them at any moment, being regarded as a freak or something. I am an outsider in my grade, that people even see as creepy when I just laugh or smile and they demand me to stop doing that. The worst part of having an alcoholic father while being his daughter with a younger sister is that I fear that he will one day see my mother in me instead of myself, and that he tries to do something to me, just because I am being told that I am my mother from appearance and everything else. I fear he could do something to me or my sister - he has done very scary things while being drunk, and has been even more insulting and disgusting than he is during his sober state. Another problem is that he is homophobic. He is a drinking , overly strict and controlling, ignorant and disgustingly perverted super religious homophobic father - and I am his daughter, hiding a lot of stuff from him and my mother: I did develop my own opinions (of course), I am very insecure in everything, have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and am an asexual, panromantic person who developed a crush on a girl - plus converted more into Buddhism than Christianity because of a man, that I do not see as my father But a monster

I remember I had nightmares for about a month about that my father would abandon me nobody would come to help me and I would always cry till I woke up

This video hit so close to home. I’m not saying my age but I’m a minor. And when I was 6 years old my father left home and went to prison for abuse. He now doesn’t have custody of me and he was an alcoholic. And my mother is an addict and an alcoholic as well. But unlike my father,she stopped the addiction (when I found out) and she knows about her issue and is able to function day to day. She is not as bad. It caused my depression and anxiety. It left me an emotional scar (some physical. Not from him but from me) Please like this comment
