Help for both of you: If your parent wants help, there are many good treatment programs, many of which do a free or low cost assessment. Alcoholics anonymous and lifering are community based support groups that are also very helpful. For you, there is al-anon, started by the wives of the founders of aa. Whether or not the alcoholic gets sober, al-anon can help you.
