Question by CentralSet: So.. My dad is a drunk… What do I do?
A little background.

My dad was an alcoholic around the time I was born. My mother had to leave him, he was thrown in jail and separated from us. He get into AA and became sober for a long time. He then built up a business which ~ 4 years ago was really successful.

My dad was sober for >15 years.

I have been in college for the last 5 years straight. At some point, while I was there, he started drinking again. He also started doing drugs (I think just smoking pot).

I noticed he started drinking again over the very short periods of time I came to visit, but quite frankly i didn’t care.

Anemia- Symtoms And Signs, What You Can Do

Anemia is the condition where there is too little of the biologic molecule called hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin contains the iron which carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and brings carbon dioxide back to the lungs. In a healthy red blood cell there are approximately 280 million molecules of hemoglobin. Each molecule of hemoglobin can carry four molecules of oxygen to the tissues. If there is too little hemoglobin, or if the hemoglobin is abnormal, the oxygen-carrying function of the blood is decreased.

Clinical Depression Symptoms ? What to Look for

When most people think of depression they normally only think of the two most common symptoms; feeling blue or sad for an extended period of time or the condition known as anhedonia where someone fails to find pleasure in the things that normally bring them happiness.

Clinical depression refers to any number of depressive disorders that affects people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, cultures, and religions. According to stats provided by the American Psychiatric Association more than 17 million men and women suffer from some form of clinical depression in the United States each year.

Reasons Of Low Self Esteem Review ? What Are The Reasons For Low Self Esteem?

Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do. People with high self-esteem do better in school and find it easier to make friends. Self-esteem is certainly not a static characteristic. Rather, it is extremely dynamic, even changing from day to day during adolescence. Self Esteem can best be compared to a powerful battery. When the battery is fully charged, the individual feels confident and raring to go; when the battery is run down the individual feels lack of confidence in self.

Feelings of inadequacy, self doubt and a reduced confidence in your abilities. In other words failure makes you feel bad, and as you already know, things that make you feel bad can lower your self esteem.
