I’m only 16 nearly 17 and have been dealing my mums alcoholism since i can remember, its all i have ever known. She has a breakdown when i was 4 and has been drinking since i can remember. I have spent my life begging my mum to get help, researching her symptoms. It has had a huge impact on my mental health negatively, no one should have to go through this.

This isn’t nice to hear but one of the hardest lessons i learnt is that when it comes to addicts they have to want to get better, that doesn’t mean leave them to it they will need help and encouragement. My mum after years and years finally went to the doctors she heavily suffered the stigma around mental health. My point is you can do everything and anything but it’s down to them, my mum had a wake up call she is know in hospital and severely ill as her liver has failed, it was a wake up call.

You need to make sure that you look after yourself because otherwise it will ruin you, it nearly ruined me and has torn my family apart. I understand if that helps.
