Alcoholism {a special board} « Result #1 on Feb 19, 2008, 5:34pm »
I'm tired of this talk about Alcoholics being bad people. They're normal people; they don't have a choice of it. It's like any other disease out there, and it can be controlled. It's not like they want to drink, they just have to. It's part of the sickness. My Dad is probably one of the best people I've ever met, and guess what?
He's an alcoholic. He's been one for about 8 years now.
Of course, there are lots of ways to help it. A-A is one way, and there are actually prescription pills to help in some way. But this is a special board for you guys who have Alcoholic parents, brothers or sisters, Aunts or Uncles, even cousins. I want to help. Any doctors who have experience in this area can also help. We know it's tough to talk about, but it's worth it to find people who know what you mean.

Friend-
Divorce is hard for anyone at any age. It's too bad that you wouldn't liek to go with either of your parents, but I am not here to convince you otherwise.
Try talking to your father in a calm matter. Let him know how you feel when he yells at you. You might wnat to say to him that you understand what a stressful situation he's going through, but it also stressful for you ltoo. When he yells at you, it hurts you, and you would like it if he could talk to you without yelling. Remember, it is important to stay calm during this proccess.
As for your sisters, it may be a good idea to separate them during their screaming fits. Place one in one room, and the other ain a room across the house. Make sure that they have activities available to them in either room.
-Elsi
I WILL MODIFY THIS AT ALATER TIME. I REALIZE IT SUCKS, BUT I GOTTA GET OFF.

Please respond to the following situation.
Dear Elsi,
I've been having some difficulties at home. My parents are thinking of spliting up, and my two younger sisters (both 5) are sort just driving them furter apart from eachother. My dad is really the sesible one, out of them. But, he's always yelling at me. He's always telling me I did something I didn't do. ((Something that happened to me is next)) Like this morning, he yelled up to me at 7 am, and woke me up, 'cause he thought I put his phone on vibrate when I didnt ((End personal Experience)).
If my parents split up, I wouldn't want to go to either of their houses. My dad yells, and my mom's abusive. On top of all that, I have to look after my little sisters while they scream their head off at eachother.

when someone gets hooked on drugs, it's very hard to stop once they're addicted, and sometimes claiming to have stopped isn't enough to convince the people worried about them. it's good you are worried about him because it shows you care. while it's important to give him his privacy, you also need to make sure he knows you're there to support him and if he ever has a problem, he can come to you. try not to pry into situations and don't nag him to tell you things. once he feels more relaxed about it he might be more willing to open up, although generally speaking guys do tend to keep things more bottled up, so it may take a while.
in the meantime, try to focus on boosting the friendship you already have so he can feel that bit more in a security zone with you before you make a move with going further. it's never nice to try and start a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with someone who isn't interested the same way, so perhaps see if he starts to show anymore affection to you that you want to show to him. you know what guys can be like when people stop and ask them if the girl they're with is their girlfriend, but if he's being incredibly fierce about you not being his girlfriend when people do ask, that might be his anger building up from drugs suddenly bursting out on random people. he probably needs an excuse to vent, so suggest he can have a moan about what's troubling him to you, like an ordinary conversation. do you have any problems of your own that you feel comfortable sharing with him? if you let him know this way you're willing to share your probs, he'll know he can trust you.
once he's that bit more open, you can calmly suggest the help he can get if he is still doing drugs. usually a first reaction for someone addicted to drugs is that they don't need any help, but he might start to see reason if you don't nag, but gently remind him regularly. i'm not sure where you live but i'm sure there are phonelines or groups he can go to. i wish you the best of luck with you and your relationship,
miss indigo.

((You find that someone wants your help in the "Friends". This what they write. How would you respond?)) Aunty Anna,
I'm really good friends with this guy. I hang around him ALOT. We've been so close latly that people often ask if we're going out. We promptly answer "No" (and he sometimes says to go "F**K yourself" to the asker)). Latly I've been feeling stronger emotions than friendship towards him; but the problem is, i know he's done pot, smoked, probably drunk and everything. He says that he doesn't anymore but it still worries me.
What should i do?
