This is the opposite of horrible. This is beautiful in a depressing and painfully-realistic way. I have never been in a situation where I have had to care for my parents like your main character, but I think alcoholism is only one way that people can connect with your story. Your main character is wonderful- not too strong, not too weak, and very, very human. The way you worded each section was amazing: it was beautiful and straightforward. The word choice didn't sound forced, but it was also colorful enough to visualize. Absolutely amazing.
