Hey welcome and thanks for the post.

Having an alcoholic addict parent is very stressful.

It’s hard to comment as I don’t k ow you or your mum or the situation very well, what I can say is that none of this is your fault in any way, and you are also not responsible.

Quite often when you ha e an alcoholic or addict parent, the roles are reversed and you find you are parenting them. It’s natural to want to look after family, but you must make sure that you are OK.

Can you say what drugs?

Thank you for replying.

I only know of weed and cocaine, but because she is my parent I really can’t tell because she doesn’t tell me any of this and I’m unaware of what she does when she’s away on a bender.

Got it.

Do you think she sees this as a problem or would you say she is in denial?

[michayla]

To be honest I don’t think she realizes the severity of the issue, because even after admitting the possibility for liver disease she still is still excessively drinking.

Therefore, I believe she still denies the problem and its effects on the people around her.
