Have you ever had to deal with a drunk parent?

When I lived with my mother as kid and teenager, some evenings she would come home drunk, or had stayed home and drank during the day.

That said, she wasn't abusive or violent, she'd get extremely sentimental and docile in letting me help her to bed or washing her, and I admit that sometimes I would manipulate her into signing bad school marks or getting money or cigarettes from her.

She regrets this now and although she still drinks occasionally she never gets drunk - hell, when sometimes when I drink she takes away the liquor saying I had "already seen the bad example" and to not overdo it.

One thing my mother said is that in her experience an alcoholic thinks they are hiding their addiction very well, but everyone can see it clear as a day.
