I was lucky enough that both my parents, though alcoholics, quit during different points of my childhood. My dad quit after a drunk driving arrest when I was very young (his mom brought ME to pick him up and he didn't drink again until about 20 years later). My mom quit during her pregnancies and then permanently when I was in middle school, I think. Unfortunately, my little brother's father is an alcoholic (and medication addict for chronic back pain) and my mom is basically never home, completely neglects him. They both "live" at home with him, but they haven't been in a relationship since I was 17 and living there (most of my brother's life). It's a weird, co-dependent situation where my mom has made my brother's father financially dependent on her to control him and he puts up with it to allow her to take care of things (his credit, housing, etc.). I'm sorry if this is a bit off topic, but are there any free resources for teens? He just turned 14 yesterday and is in 8th grade (which he may be failing and have to repeat). I'm limited in what I can do, because my mom refuses to let us intervene very much, even though she refuses to play her role, but I want to provide him with some resources that are objective and outside our crazy family, if anyone knows of any. Thanks!
