Sometimes it is not good to be in contact with our alcoholic parents as well.

It is imperative that some of us have no contact with out alcoholic parents, in fact it can be a matter of survival. We may or may repair that relationship depending on many different factors. But it is never an easy decision and it is one that the OP must make alone without guilt.
