When Your Parent Drinks, Who’s the Adult? 🍷🤔

Growing up, I always thought parents were supposed to take care of their kids, not the other way around. But when my mom started drinking more, everything flipped. I’d hide in my room or escape to the park when she was drunk, just hoping she wouldn’t start another argument. I tried talking to her, begging her to get help, but it felt like shouting into the wind. Sometimes I wondered if it was my fault, or if I could somehow fix her. But deep down, I knew I couldn’t carry that weight. I learned to set boundaries, focus on school, and lean on friends who understood. Have you ever felt like the roles in your family were reversed? 💬 #FamilyStruggles #Alcoholism #ParentChildRelationship #MentalHealth #FamilyRelationships
