It affects my grades, my focus, my motivation, ...And i am seeking for your help...Have you lived the same situations? How did you manage the situation? Thank you for your time...Have a nice day. J.

Alanon family groups is the right group for this type of question. We here are those who suffer with desease of alcoholism. Alanon was founded by family members who had us in their family just as you have your mom. Good luck! Alanon is in most places in phone book is starting point or online googling it! Hugs

I grew up with an alcoholic parent. It wasn't fun.

I didn't have the resources then that are available now. I agree that Alanon is a good start.

Hi,
I grew up with a codependent (Mom ) and a raging Functioning Alcoholic! Once I got sober Not that was the key factor...the key factor was the personality traits that were helped to create through Trauma ,, neglect aand mixed messages I carried through into Adulthood. Those thingst I hought would keep me safe and insulated me from the truth of the damage done butt that only created confusion and a adaptive or conditioned state of how my personality dealt with others. I d either fight or flight emotionally which only created more confusion about Who My authentic self really was. Through therapy , AAs steps , spiritual practice and Acoa Ive began to see the whole picture and how the dots connect that begin to help me let go of that adaptive self created and find out on a emotional who I really was without all of the defense mechanism and find my true self and begin to heal:)))) A chameleon only changes colors to hide or blend in unless the threat is really close at hand and then they ddefend who they think they are by all means necessary nooooooooooooooooooo:))))
