Equinox · Answer

Understand that their going through their own suffering have empathy for them yet be strong of course that does not mean when life get tough you emotionally supress your emotions but rather mean you become assertive and set strong boundaries. Practical answer is get financially wealthy to certain extent and get out of that house specially if they become toxic of course don't hate them even if you can't love them learn to at least understand them. Hopefully this genuinely help

Stan · Answer

Move away.  Don't let them drag you down.

Edward · Answer

Alcoholism is quite often an escape mechanism, or a way of dealing with trauma.

Id recommend that you suggest to them to seek psychological help. Just asking them to "stop drinking" only solves the symptom of whats really happening for them.

If they refuse, and continue destructive behaviour: you need to look ar protecting/looking after yourself. Distancing yourself might work in the short term.

Good luck! Here to talk if you need it

My 18 years living on this earth I've tooken care of my alcoholic parent, it was filled with broken promises and meaningless sorrys, but in the end you have to disconnect from them even though you love and care for them and don't want to leave their side it would be for the better of them physically and you mentally, either they leave you temporary for rehab or they will leave you forever and won't get to have a chance of bettering themselves and leaving you in pain and always thinking about the "what could I have done" rather than what they should have done 🤌

You tell them you can’t continue to see them like this so if alcohol is present you can’t be.

Smoke bomb

Adam · Answer

Truth be told (and you may not like this) but distance yourself from them. It's healthier for you, and maybe it'll work as a tactic for them to wakeup, but idk.
