If you've been reading this blog, my hope is that you realize you are not alone in dealing with an alcoholic parent, friend, or family member. If you have had to deal with alcoholism affecting your childhood, I urge you to seek support and help. You don't have to deal with this on your own, there are other people out there who know and understand exactly what you've been through and have to deal with a lot of the same repercussions and issues stemming from those childhood traumas.
If you are a teen or adult and you would like to seek support in coping with the alcoholic in your life, you can find help with the organization Al-Anon. They offer support for families, children and teenagers in a variety of ways. Know that you are not alone, it is not your fault, and there are other people who have been there and are willing to walk beside you through it.
