No one deserves to have to deal with a parent's drinking on their birthday.

I went through some difficult things when I was your age, and the thing to remember is that your life will not always be like it is right now - it will get much better as you get older !

Keep reminding yourself of that, and before you know it, you will be an adult and in your own home and with a partner who cares about you.

It is tough at your age being in a difficult situation, but you will get through it.

Have you had a look at the Just 4 Teens section on the Nacoa site ? If you scroll down this page from the link below, there is also some info about AlaTeen which is a group for teens who have a parent who drinks too
