I'm not a child anymore. I have the right to feel like this.
I keep getting told to act like a child which I haven't done in a long time. I think I have the right to feel disppaointed in my dad for drinking so much he puked and smoking. And my mother for also smoking.
Latly I've had to make deceisions that a kid shouldn't have to. Like wether my dad should live here or not. Who I'd want to live with and what not. Stuff like that.
I worry about thinks children should not worry about. My parents emotional status,health,bills,and if dads going to go out drinking and then drive.
My counselor lectures me on this kind of stuff. Its not my fault. I'm treated like an adult and my parents want me to make decisions I don't think I should have to. I just don't know what to do. This has been going on to long.

Hey, I know how you feel. I used to go thru all the things you talked about. Sometimes you just have to let things work themselves out. I'm not just saying that... because my dad used to drink (like, alot) until about a a year and a half ago until he did something stupid that made him realize that he needed to quit...then the health/bills/emotional status got way better. So maybe that will happen. Your right that you shouldn't have to worry about sh*t like that. Also, dude just try to do good in school so you can go to college and stuff...and things will get better than. The person below is right tho...don't become too streesed out bc it will only make things worse.

Your counselor is basically asking you to ignore everything, and you obviously can't do that. Sheltering yourself would be bad, and she needs to not encourage things like that. But you have to understand that those things are out of your control, and becoming stressed out about them will only make things worse.
