((((Hanzy))))
My sister has a 17 y/o daughter who endures something very similar. The things she's told my niece, the rants, the rages, the physical violence. She's said some horrible things that a child shouldn't have to hear. I've rescued her soooooo many times.
My sister just got her first DWI in December. My niece is miserable sometimes. Al Ateen is a huge help, but if you cannot make it to meetings for whatever reason these boards are a great help. Books also help. There is a sticky at the top of one of these forums that will tell you which ones are good. Also, there is a lot of support here. : )
