Although this is a difficult situation for you remember that this is not your fault - and that you are not alone.

Also - remember that that you cannot control your parents' drinking or drug use - no matter how hard you try.

we recommend that you:

Tell your parent how you feel - if it's OK for you to do this.

Set boundaries - in order to keep yourself safe.

Talk to others - so that you don't feel so isolated.

Find help and support - you don't have to deal with this on your own.
