Home Parent changing when they drink
My family members would use my behaviour to justify the parental drinking.
Talking about having a family member who is an alcoholic is still taboo in our country.
Growing up with an alcoholic parent is one of the most heart-wrenching experiences.
Film about a young man navigating life as an ACOA (adult child of an alcoholic).
No one does. It was when he retired that things really began to go downhill.
Like many families with addiction, there was constant covering up to make things look ‘respectable’ and keep the secret.
This story I would say is a story of hope. One that I want to share to show to people.
We lived in it together, and I felt that no one else would ever understand.
Before I even knew what alcoholism was, I understood it was the cause of conflict in our house.
This is what we do, daily.
