...See more I know Im just a teen but I know when enough is enough, I just dont know where to start. Growing up Ive always knew my parents were constantly drinking alcoholic beverages, its almost like they have substituted alcohol for water. In addition to the achoholism, my father has an opioid and other nonprescriped drug problem. These addictions have caused many problems in my home such as spousal abuse, my father walking about the house with a gun threatening to kill my mother and I, and so much more. Next year Im going off to college, which is 4 hours away from home, and I dont know if I can do that without being constantly worried about being away from home and unable to parent sit. I have already tried may tactics including trying to reason with them to get help, asking my older siblings who are already established for help, hiding and destroyingmy parents substances. I need a way to safely get my parents the help they need. Where can I start?
