Hello i am 21 years old i am 32 weeks pregnant and i belive my parents are alcholics. my parents drink every weekend get drunk and tell me that its normal i have lived like this all my life and thats why i do not like to drink. i don't want my daughter to grow up with grandparents like that. my brother works in camp and comes home for a week and all him and my parents do is drink. he has a 7 year old daughter and a 14 year old step son and all they see when they come home is there dad and grandpraents drinking. my brother allows my nephew to drink and get drunk, i thought it was fun for a while and now i think its childish and immature i am not sure what to do. i live with my comon law husband and he see's how upset i get when my family makes a promise and breaks it becuase of alchol. please help me what should i do??

I think you should give your parents an ultimatum...let them know that what they are doing is destroying their relationship with you. If you want them to be in your life, they have to make the decision to put the alcohol aside. I'm sure they love you very much, but along the way things might have happened which lead them down the road to alcohol. However, it's a great idea to tell them everything that is bothering you...they'll either accept it or they won't. I truly hope everything works out for you. Oh, and congrats on the baby!

You could probably tell your parents how you really feel. My father drinks alcohol everyday and gets drunk and he gets really violent and hits my mum and sometimes me. Congratulations on the baby!
