My dad drank behind our backs for 4 years. He was always angry and constantly yelling. I've never been able to talk with him and especially now. It happened about 7 months ago. My dad became so sick and I became worried. When he refused to go to the hospital I said "I will not stay in this house, if you can't even take care of yourself." Well, he did go. Turns out he was about to die from alcohol poisining. I saved his life.
Then there is my mom, who is one of my best friends. Yeah, we have or fights, but I love her so much. During my fathers drinking, my mom was hiding her drug addiction. She would take up to 70 pills a day. These pills are Narcatics (pain killers) and make you extermely tired. Why she isn't dead is a miricale. Let's just say, she was obtaining these drugs in illegal ways. And one day as she was picking them up the police arrested her. She went to jail, was released, and we haven't talked since. I am alone and sad, and can't find away to escape

If you are old enough to be on your own, you may want to consider doing that. No matter what you need to seek help and support for yourself.
My dad is an alcoholic and is still using after all these years (he's 71 now). About 35 years ago, my mom kicked him out of the house because he wouldn't seek treatment. Five years prior to that she had sought help for herself by attending Al-anon meetings. When I was 7 I started attending Alateen meetings. That is a support group for children of alcoholics. They actually kind of break it down into Alateen (ages 12-21) and Pre-Alateen (7-12). There is also ACOA for adult children of alcoholics. It is a wonderful organization that really helped me a lot. People share their experience, strength, and hope and follow a 12-step program similar to Alcoholics Anonymous (they are affiliated with each other).
Whatever you do, make sure you take care of and protect yourself. I know it's scary to watch your parents do this to themselves. Remember, it is an addiction and that they are a different person when they are using than when they aren't. Hopefully, you will all be on the road to recovery soon, and will be able to mend your relationships.
Good luck and keep your chin up. There are others out there in your same situation. You will get through this.

To make you feel better, my grandma just died, my dad is an alcohalic, and he is homeless. My parents are divorced, and my mom is married to a guy who makes me clean the house everyday from 2:30- 7:00. Last year my sister commited suicide. So i know what your going through, just know that they arent doing this because of you. And dont start doing what they do, you are a good person. I think you should consult a counsler like what i did. it really helps

Sweetheart, contact some of your other family members. Maybe your grandparents would let you stay with them for a while. You really need to distance yourself from your folks right now. They are both sick and unable to care for themselves let alone care for you.
I'll pray for you!
