Living with an alcoholic

^I'm sorry that's really horrible.
I know how you feel though, my dads drunk this very minute, and in all honestly, I've lost alot of respect and love for him, becuase when he's drunk he's terribley racist, and homophobic. I mean he's like it anyway, but it's worse when he's drunk! I mean just a second ago he shouted "Black Bitch!" at someone on the TV.
It doesn't matter how many arguments I have with him about his racial slurs, because he doesn't remember them in the morning. (what do they remember in the morning?)

My Best advice, ignor everything! Stay out of his way when his drunk, and don't talk to him when he's like it!

thats terrible : [

and yes, they remember nothing u talk to them about when thier drunk, its pointless.

I used to and it was not so good

D: why does he have to be such an ass when hes drunk? :(

My mum was a horrible alcoholic. It really use to be bad, like she would keep me up all night when I had to go to school and stuff. It sometimes got violent... I just prefer not to think about it. She still drinks, but now it's not nearly as bad. I mean, she's still an alcoholic, but she does go to bed at a decent hour and doesn't act liek a total idiot. Except the other night she accused me of taking her Wild Turkey... Ugh, I don't even like alcohol.
Her boyfriend does not help. He usually leaves because they fight. I honestly think he goes to cheat on her. Now that's he's in Cuba, my mom's improved... I wish he wasn't coming back. :/

My step-mommy is a horrible alcoholic. I've just basically gotten use to it. It's not like anything bad happens, and in the past she and my dad just got into shouting matches, but it's really annoying. Sometimes it's fun, and we'll karaoke and what-not, but once she gets into "discussion mode" all she wants to do is give her opinion about my life. Ugh, it's terrible. She's sitting on the pourch talking to my uncle drunk now. She thinks it's funny...

My uncle was an alcoholic. He use to to throw me and my sister's baby dolls at us.

I feel so bad for everyone:arms:
I know what it is like though.

My grandma was an awful alcoholic. She would abuse me all the time. Throw me against the wall and beat me up. She even tried to drown me. Along with some other stuff...

I am absolutely traumatized by what she did. I can't get past it and it really bothers me. I have flashbacks and nightmares all the time.

So :arms: to anyone who actually has to live with that.

My mums boyfriend is a drunk and an angry drunk at that he's horrible. I went though bulimia for a year and i ended at just 79 pounds and he made fun of me a week ago when he was drunk. Im a cheerleader. This is him: 'Oh yeah your going to be a cheerleader one hamburger in each hand.' 'Go McDonalds Go'. It was awful. He has broken windows made me run down the street from him at midnight, we ave had to call the cops on him so many times the cops know us by name and faces. My friend Austins Dad is a cop. He recogized me. It was so embarassing. It was hard to look him in the eye for the rest of the dinner. Once he attacked me because Iouldnt go to my room when they were fighting cause my mom told me not to and i fell off the stairs. Bottom line. Drunks suck.

my father is an acholic. he won't admit. he's an absuive asshole who i hate with every fiber of my being. what hurts more is i used to be his little princess now he won't even say i'm his daughter. i'm his first born i'm name after his sister who raised him after he lost his mother to the same thing that's ripping his family apart. his father died from it too.

i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss the man he once was, but i can't change him he won't eve change and when he dying on his death bed, i won't go se him until he's gone so then i can tell him and his no good sister of his off.

My brother's been an alcoholic since he was 13, so I grew up with him throughout that whole period.
It's messed me up bad, won't like. I have self-esteem issues, because when I was in grade 2, he'd be drunk and calling me a slut and pushing me around. I somewhat blame him for having an eating disorder / cutting issues / depression / feelings of neglect / paranoia.
But, he's better now... he still does drugs, but he's been off the alcohol for a few months, so it's getting better. I still can't look him in the eyes though... I just can't.

^:arms: My brother was the same way. He'd stay stuff like that to me when he was wasted and I still have some self-esteem problems because of that. He doesn't get drunk like that anymore, and if he does, he stays at his friends house, so our relationship has improved a lot since then. Once he really commit's to stop drinking as much, everything will be easier, it's just a bit of a slow process. You just got to be patient. :arms:

I don't know if you'd call my mom's fiance an alcoholic. When we lived in his house, we were right down the street from the bar, so he'd drink almost every night. At first it was okay 'cause he was funny when he was drunk (he gave me forty dollars for no reason one time). But then it just started getting annoying. He'd say all this shit when he was drunk and just generally act like a douchebag towards me and my mother. One time he yelled at me for no reason and wouldn't stop until I was crying. And the next morning when he was sober and remembered everything, he didn't apologize once. Then we moved, and he stopped drinking as much considerably, but then they'd still go to the bar, and he went back from being a funny drunk to an asshole, and no matter how much it pissed my mom off, they'd still go to the bar. Today they started fighting really bad, their screaming woke me up. My mom was ready to hit him, and then he started saying all this shit about me and my brother, and my brother got in his face. I seriously thought one of them was going to start swinging. It's never been this bad before. He apologized to my mom and my brother (and not to me, once again), but my mom doesn't think he means it. So I think the engagement's off, and I don't know what's going to happen, and neither does she because we can't just kick him out 'cause he has nowhere to go. I'm afraid she's going to let it all go like the other times, and I'm scared that one of these days he's going to end up actually hitting one of us. There's a lot of tension in the house and it's been bothering me all day. :/ (I had to vent. I figured it'd be okay in this thread.)

I wouldn't have classed my mum as an alcoholic until about a year ago. In fact I still don't, I just notice it's getting more frequent.

She used to only drink at the weekend, on a saturday but now it's almost everyday.I can see her change from sober to intoxicated to drunk in stages, If she's been drinking with friends it moves onto happy drunk and gets all silly but if she's just drinking at home it gets to drunk and stays there and that's not the nice stage.

She picks arguments with me for no reason and I get to the point where I can't stand her attitude and so argue back. She's nasty when she's like that. She's never hit me but she shouts and says nasty stuff about me to my dad. He sticks up for me most of the time but never tells her to stop drinking, even though we both hate it.

She always remembers what she's done and said and never apologises. Not a once, I'm always the one that has to appologise. I did it once, 'cause I had been a bit of a bitch, I can't even remember what I'd said now but it had really pissed her off so much so that she wouldn't talk to me the nextday at all, so I thought I'd best appologise when she was sober and she blew it off like it didn't take all my guts to do that. That was the worst bit about it and I've never appologised since

I don't know. Maybe it's just one of those things.

My Dad is a really bad alcoholic. He'll stash his bottles anywhere he can find--sometimes I've found them in my room. And he won't just drink beer, either. It has to be whiskey, otherwise he can't drink.

But then, about 90% of the people in my family are alcoholics or have addictive personalities. So it's not surprising. It's hard to deal with though.
