My parents drink.

I really cant stand it. im 16. almost 17. and its gone on for as long as I can remember. I cant stand it anymore. my dads been to rehab twice. and my mom wont even admit she drinks too much. she gets so mean and im always the victim. I've never done...

anything wrong. there are four of us and I've always been the good kid. I got straight A's my whole life. and I have never involved myself in illegal drugs. I feel like they hate me. alcoholism runs in both sides of the family and they dont seem to care that it is likely my year younger brother couls become one to.
I have no clue what to do anymore.
I love them. but I cant stand it.

maybe you should talk to them but it seems like your the type of person who has already tried that, maybe you should try get them some help. I dunoo how but maybe look on the net. or if you really cant stand it show them this by moving out or something into a friends place that goes to your school or something then you can continue with straight A's but get the point across to your parents. maybe they'll understand. goood luck

talk to them and let them know how much it bothers and scares you and that you are worried about them ect ect ect. and if this doesnt work I suggest talking to a grandparent or some family member you could stay with for a while and talk to your counselor or a teacher or just some adult you can trust to help you knock some sense into them. if the situation is potentially dangerous especially to you kids you definetly need to talk to someone about it. I know you love them but its not good or fair to any of you kids to be in that invironment. maybe its the reality check they need

Here is what you do.

Call AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) and tell them that you need to join Ala-teen.
Ala-teen is for the teen aged children of alcoholics - and your parents are alcoholics, as you know. Then go to the meetings and get a sponsor. You will find many similar stories there from other teens.
It is ESPECIALLY important that you do this because YOU have a better that 50% chance that YOU will become an addict IF (big if) you ever start to take ANY addictive drug - alcohol, prescription pain killers, pot, whatever.
At the meetings you will start to learn what is going on with your parents, and how to handle everything. But it will take work.
Additionally, you can also watch Celebrity Rehab on VH1. They have done it twice and there is another one in the works. (It deals with addicts to many things, including alcohol. And the three main helpers to the doctor are recovered addicts - Bob Forrest (the guy with the hat - went to rehab 26 times and now has been sober for many, many years. Shelly, likewise, used to be a crack whor* (her description).

You are not alone, there is help but you have to reach out for it.
Good Luck!!

Check with your local Alcoholics Anonymous chapter and see if there is a chapter near you that deals with teens with alcoholic parents. If there is a group in your area, it can help you deal with the situation.

DON'T keep confronting your parents about their problem. As a child they aren't too likely to listen. If you can't find an Alcoholics Anonymous Teen support group, check with some of your local churches -- they may have Teen support groups.

wow...um its wierd because im 16, nearly 17 and my parents drink too. My father is an abusive drinker and I have to stand his constant yelling every night, and trust me when I say every night. It gets so constant it becomes part of my daily routine, (Wake up in the morning, go to school, come back, do homework and then listen to Dad yell all night, I was always so frustrated but now im at the point where I just dont notice anymore).My mothers more of a mild and controlled drinker but the situation with my dad has got her depressed , me and brothers have always tried to talk with them, but It just seems to get worse.I don't drink or smoke either, I've seen what its done to my parents and so I don't intend to. I guess what I cant stand is being the Adult in all this (Im the eldest girl) third eldest in the family, and their drinking habits has led them to acting like children where I seem to be the center of care these days.

All I can say is try to talk with them , not at them, to a point where they dont feel like adults, it usually just builds up their guilt and triggers their habits.
Also try to have a firm hand when it is getting too much, they need to see how much this is hurting you and your siblings and that their actions are not doing any good to yours and their lives. You need to hit them with the hard reality that this is intolerable and that necessary action needs to be taken.

And from past failures with rehab and medications my Dad has taken in the past, I would say don't do anything stupid and to inform a trustworthy support group whether in the community, church, or school about this. The more people are aware of this, the more help you will have in helping your parents...

I guess its harder in your part, where it sounds like your the eldest, whereas I have 2 older siblings willing to help my family through this...Its a good thing your getting straight A's =]

Hope that's of Help, Sorry if its not

my mom is an alcoholic to ! I know how you feel . but until something DRASTIC happens they wont change. such as you leaving home. if you move out your parents might realize that either they quit drinking or they loose there daughter. you cant just threaten it you HAVE TO DO IT!
