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.

My father before my parents divorced had a very good job that he worked during the day then he came home and started drinking from that time until he passed out/went to bed....while he kept his four children so his wife could work night shift. He said in retrospect when his alcoholism and resulting violence led to the divorce that he did it because his job was stressful and hurting his children while drunk was always unintentional. Maybe your parents feel the same way?

@amaricul That's very bad. 😔 *Hugs*
My dad is the only one who works right now, but his job is a little stressful. But other things can help with stress too, like walking. I have anxiety, and my parents don't care, and I wouldn't be able to drink alcohol to make it go away.
