I am very sorry as a young person you're having to deal with this. Many prayers are sent your way.



Find support. It's good to share your feelings with a friend, but it's equally important to talk to an adult you trust. A school counselor, favorite teacher, or coach may be able to help. Some teens turn to their school D.A.R.E. (Drug and Alcohol Resistance Education) officer, whereas others find a sympathetic uncle or aunt.



Find a safe environment. If you find yourself avoiding your house as much as possible, or if you're thinking about running away, consider whether you feel in danger at home. If you feel that the situation at home is becoming dangerous, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at (800) 799-SAFE. And never hesitate to dial 911 if you think you or another family member is in immediate danger.



Because alcoholism is a disease and not a behavior, chances are that you won't be able to change your parent's actions. But you can show your love and support ?and, above all, take care of yourself.How do i deal with my mom being an alcoholic?

There are support groups out there. You just have to find one and see if they're what you're looking for.



Remember, you're not alone. It may feel like that, but you're not. You've got friends and family to turn to, and there are lots of other people out there in very similar situations.



Good luck.
