Sweeks-
Glad to see you found this board- it has helped me too. My mom is also an alcoholic. It is hard to see your parent going thru any of this and it is also hard to work thru the issues an alcoholic parent leaves you with.
If I can give one word of advice----please go to alanon and be openminded about the things that work inside of you...your subconcious decisions. I never thought my mom being an alcoholic would affect me so much into my adult life...sometimes it sneaks up on you if you haven't dealt with all that went on in your household growing up. I met my husband and it was "love at first sight"---I had never been that type of person, but I told myself it just must be right to feel that way. I am now dealing with a 10 year relationship(7 yrs married) and two kids and my husband is gone because I made him leave to get treatment for being an alcoholic...I NEVER thought I would be here, but if you don't get "healthy" now you will be surprised on the decisions that sometimes you will make later that aren't the best for you. I am glad to see that you are getting help so young. Hang in there and things WILL get better.
