This is ridiculous, i'm going on this
website. Im 15 for gods sake, all of
you people have real problems and mine
seems mini. I have to deal with a major
alcoholic in my family and it always gets
me down because it leads to verbal
abuse(which im pretty sure is non
intentional because she doesnt realize
shes doing it). My otheer parent works
away all week and is always stressy with
me and my brother and I used to be best
friends but we dont talk anymore. I
have a great life and a loving family but
I recently have not been happy at all.
Really shitty and I know its pissing
everyone off. Alcoholics are not nice
to deal with. And guess what my
"clever" solution to it is? To drink
myself. Alot. Every night. And im
15. Please someone talk to me. It is
such a mission to be happy. Very rare.
:( help, im really depressed and I hat
epretending to be all happy.

I hate pretending to be happy to. I have
been suffering with depression as long as
I can remember...I do not seem to enjoy
life and I have problems too...I dont
measure problems. Problems are problems
and they need to be dealt with...I am here
cuz I need to vent...
You are dealing with an alcholic...They
need to realise they have a problem in
order for this situation to resolve
itself...You can do nothing really to help
them unless they want the help themselves.
I wont recommend that you drink
though...After all...You are just 15 and
age aside...Drinking occasionally is
cool...But being dependant on alcohol is
another story...At the moment I am hooked
on cigarettes and I wish I never picked
the stuff up. Don't start to
drink...Talk to the person when they are
sober and tell them how they hurt you if
they do at all. Whether it is
emotionally, mentally or physically...Try
to talk to the person...If that don't
work...Grow up real fast and get the heck
outta ther!

Your problems are never insignificant. If
something hurts someone so much that they
want to escape from it, then that must be
something major. I also have my own
addiction, so I understand where your
coming from. It eases the pain of
depression and unhappiness. But it is
always temporary. You crave it more and
more, and it takes over your life. I
still have problems with my own. So how
do you cope? How do you make yourself
happy again? How do you avoid your
drunken mother and your busy father? You
must take baby steps in order to do it.
Start by laying off the booze for a while
and get out of the house as much as
possible. Take your brother with you.
Have you tried to talk to other family
members about this? They might be able to
understand your situation. What about
your father, have you taken it up with
him?
