Hello and welcome. I hope you do find a home here.
There's even a separate forum for friends and family of alcoholics.
I never had much in the way of parents. I basically raised myself. Needless to say, this didn't work out so well in my younger years.
I'm glad you have a supportive boyfriend and a therapist you like.
Make yourself at home and post and read all you like. It's great to have you here.
