I’m 47. My father was a heroin addict. My mother was a alcoholic. I started working at the age of 14 never stopped. I needed food. I needed feminine products to this day. The 12 step program tells my father, who is now recovered that he shouldn’t feel guilty about the past Yet he just told me that it’s a shame that I can’t afford to put braces on my child. I’m not ashamed of anything and none of you are alone. There are a lot of us out here like you there are a lot of us that made the best of what we had, and we pulled up our bootstraps and we fucking worked, God bless all of us don’t ever feel guilty. If you give a better life to your children then when your parents gave to you then don’t you ever let those drug addicts tell you that anything you do as a shame!

I just found out that my dad is addicted to drugs. Crack specifically. It breaks my heart because I knew he was on something but I didn’t want to believe it. He was in jail for most of my childhood and when he got out I barely seen him. I’m now a mother and I hoped that his grandson and my eagerness for a relationship with him would make him know that someone loves him no matter what.

Both of my parents are currently heavily addicted to multiple substances. Now that I have a wife and child I separate myself from them. It’s painful to not have stable parental figures in your life I love them but I will not expose my child to those type of things finally after 37 years I’m saying enough is enough

Tonight was a rough night for me and this video helped get me through it. My mom has a had rough road to recovery from heroin addiction. At 30 years old I thought I had dealt with a lot of the repurcussions from my childhood but this video brought a lot to light for me. I've struggled with self confidence, perfectionism, processing emotions. So much of what you both also experienced. Thank you for taking the time to be vulnerable so others dont feel so alone. It's a beautiful thing, feeling understood.

Thank you for sharing your story. You educated me on what I have been feeling for years. I am an adult child of addicted parents. I have just begun facing this head on and understanding how this has caused me to parent my own children and how it affects my relationships with EVERYONE.

My father was my best friend. My father was a recovering addict and he was clean my whole entire childhood until I was 18 years old when I found him overdosed. Everything just came crashing down after that. The damage it does to a child is indescribable.

Me too. My mother raised me I was shot at 4 in a drug deal gone bad by hand member and my mom moved away with us. She was drug addicted. We missed out on everything and had to grow up and protect ourselves. My dad had come back into my life. Hes in prison I wanted so bad for him To want me in his life but hes using and manipulating me. It's so hard. I know Jesus is my help but this pain is heavier than the pain of a cancer diagnosis, heavier than being raped, heavier than spending my life alone. This hurts bad I dont understand it.

I just found my dad passed out on the floor. All he does is lie to me and I have to clean up his messes and look after him. I hate it but I love my dad so much and I don’t know how to let him know that I KNOW and I’m not stupid

@someuniqueusername6627 4 жыл бұрын

Jana Mpe I don’t live with him because after my parents got divorced they decided he wasn’t mature enough to raise two little girls. I haven’t ever talked to him about me or how I feel or any of my interests so I don’t really feel comfortable telling him how I feel. Honestly he was supposed to die in a horrible accident when I was 8 but somehow he woke up from his coma after being pronounced dead. I feel like I should just let it happen :(

Your pfp looks a lot like my father. He’s the leader of a bike group, a disabled veteran, and an alcoholic. I just found him passed out on the floor and I was the only one home when I found him. All he does is lie to me and I have to clean up his messes and take care of him. He thinks I’m stupid. Like I don’t know that earlier today he didn’t JUST get redbox movies because going down the street to pick up movies doesn’t take 2 hours. He walks around scratching himself and right before I found him passed out I heard what sounded like him blowing up a balloon. Really loud breathing and then soft snores. I screamed at him until he woke up. He just told me he was thinking on the floor and didn’t realize I was talking to him. After that I sat back down in the living room to watch the movies but he still wasn’t in there with me. I saw his bedroom light down the hall (meaning his door was open) and I looked in his room and saw him staring naked into the mirror. He blamed the noises on the AC. He still doesn’t know I know and that I’ve told most of the family. He refuses to get a job and uses being mentally disabled and not having the ability to turn his wrist as an excuse to not work. He spends all the money he gets on drugs and alcohol and even brings me (14) and my younger sister (10) with him to his “friends house because they needed money to pay rent”. We never have money. I’ve been wearing the same hand me down clothes for 5 years and we depend on people to give us food. PLEASE get help. Don’t put your kids through the danger my dad’s putting me through. I’m constantly wondering what’s gonna happen to me. I never know when he’ll get into deep shit and have to give me or my little sister up for his own ass. It terrifies me but I love him too much to bring it up to him. PLEASE get help. please.

I’m begging that you let my story motivate you. He makes my life so tough that sometimes I don’t even want to deal with him anymore. He got in such a bad motorcycle accident that we were told he had died (but he lived). He was such a heavy drinker that the hospital had to pump liquor into him so he would survive. Don’t let that be you.

You should listen to this music “SMBA - Heroine”. He wrote this song about his mom’s addiction. A lot of people relate to this song and got healed ❤️‍🩹
