    I fqn HATE my evil alcoholic father who sexualised me and my friends as teenagers, was given the green light by my family and I was ostracised for speaking the truth. He needed constant baby sitting and was enabled by my codependent mother who I come to find out is actually a covert narcissist herself! 3rd year no contact. Working through my issues, family scapegoat and chronic weed smoker. Hate alcohol with a passion. So angry at this patriarchy we live in - so angry at how codependent I am, so sick of wanting people’s approval, so angry at being blamed for my parents choices. Love to all ❤

      I feel you so deeply and agree with you. I’m angry too. Many don’t even know how hard it is for children of the alcoholic to deal with them and how deeply it affects them. I hate my dad so much. I wish he didn’t live with us or left us when we were younger so that I could live peacefully. I have so so much anxiety because of him. I hate it.

      He doesn’t even care abut the emotions and traumas he gave all of us. He is literally a parasite of my family.

      well done to you,sounds like such a difficult situation and as you say pushing those sexual boundaries too and not being properly protected or nurtured by your mother.I wish you all the best and continued healing

    We Muslims are lucky! We don't have liquor in our homes. We don't have all these problems.
