The unemployed and the drinking parents - the present tragedy for the child. Unfortunately, only at the few it turns out to abstract from current situation and to take independent steps in the direction of the better future. Understanding of the situation and search of ways of an exit from it - one of the main conditions to survive in a dysfunctional family and to get a chance to construct happy life.
To keep itself
Unfortunately, around there are not a lot of stories when the teenager from a dysfunctional family manages to escape from the real hell which surrounds it. Too much works against the child in this situation: impossibility to live independently and to work fully, lack of the right to protect itself in court, inability to cope with psychological pressure in family. The teenager is younger - the situation less chances of a happy outcome is worse.
Quite often children perceive the available family model as only true, get under influence of people from this circle, completely are suppressed morally. However, if the child has an understanding that his family is unsuccessful, and he wants to live by all means differently, it is already almost a victory. Not to give in to circumstances, to set the object and to go to it - on it only units are capable, but at the same time without such conscious control of a situation at the teenager nothing can turn out.
To find support
It is alone extremely difficult to cope with a difficult situation. The main thing is not to become reserved, not to hesitate of the problems and to seek the help elsewhere. Parents cannot help you any more: this fact just should be accepted. Address relatives, neighbors, teachers or just familiar. In so difficult situation the help can come from the most unexpected side.
Do not hesitate to ask for help of absolutely strangers, for example, at an Internet forum. Around there are much more kind adults, than it seems to you. Absolutely foreign people can help a valuable advice, warm clothes, tasty food.
Find public organizations (social, charitable) which will help you to organize free leisure, to get support of bodies of a social security, both the most important - the psychological and moral assistance.
To seek to survive
Certainly, the offense and rage can overflow the teenager who, in fact, is still a child, at his age there are a lot of temptations, interesting leisure, material values, and all this is inaccessible for it. Moreover, in a dysfunctional family there is no opportunity even to satisfy the foremost requirements from normal food and warm clothes to silence and the quiet atmosphere. The child who lives with the unemployed and the drinking parents also has to concentrate on the last. If at you it turned out to find at least the minimum financial support, direct all efforts to study and a possible side job: it will help you to take important steps to the better future.
To solve whether it is worth giving any support to alcoholic parents who allowed such situation, - only to you. If abuse your help whether it is worth sacrificing himself?
Regard current situation as difficult and unpleasant, but nevertheless the temporary period of which you are capable to find a way out.
