Why do my parents drink during every event or if they're off? Isn't there other things to do?

Alcohol makes me nervous and I've been tired since Christmas eve.

They could be drinking because they think it will help their stress or help make the moments more fun. It’s a way of not being present in the moment.
I hope you recover well from the holiday season. I know it can be very draining. 🧡

@SW-User Yes, but that's not my fault. 😔

@Manfredthemanic Their drinking habits are definitely not your fault. They’re doing this to themselves.
Holiday fatigue is also not your fault. 🤗 I hope you have the greatest year, Manfredthemanic.

@SW-User Yes, but it makes me sad. I would like to spend time with them.

Thank you. *hugs* I hope you have a good new year as well.

@Manfredthemanic Of course it's not your fault. When people drink too much they get selfish, the alcohol becomes more important to them than what they should be doing 😥
