My parents are classic narcissists, so anytime I broach the subject of alcohol abuse in our family, it is always somehow turned against me. My husband and I no longer consume alcohol with them, so to say things have become uncomfortable, is a huge understatement. For the first time in my life, I have become the "bad kid", instead of my rebel sister. LOL (btw, I am in my early 40s)
Oh, I hope you understand, I realised you were an adult! When I was in my 20s I found Alateen pointed me to some good ALAnon meetings that weren't just focused on people with alcoholic partners, but adult children of alcoholics as well. Hence my suggestion.
I am in Australia, so maybe it's different where you are, but I found back then it was easy to find a group and talk about my Mothers alcoholism.
