Do you ever feel ashamed, embarrassed or confused about your parent's drinking? Perhaps you feel different from other people you know. Or you want to know how you can help your parent? You are not alone; there are many young people experiencing similar problems. When a parent has a drink problem, it affects the whole family, and can be especially difficult for children and young people.
If you would like to talk to someone, our free confidential helpline is here for you.
