new but so old

well i'm new here an i go by the name of hatz........so hi
my story begins as far back as i can remember.
my parents spilt when i was 9 but my mum, who is an alcoholic, started drinking before and she was the one you asked for a divorce from my dad. i still remember the exact moment when she asked. my mum had been cheating on my dad for years, i used to see her kissing her various boyfriends in he kitchen while my dad was at work.
The courts decided that a volatile alcoholic was the perfect place for me and my sister to be brought up in, and about a month after my dad mover in with his dad my mum moved in her boyfriend. he hated me and from the start i was the "mum" to my little sister. my mums boyfriend was violent towards me and i ended up in hospital 22 times in one year with various broken bones and ribs. he was also a alcoholic and he and my mum would be down the pub most nights, leaving me in the care of some men that abused me in every way you can think of.
cut aloooooooooong story short my mum moved on to another boyfriend and i went to live with my dad as got to the point where my mum was put on life support because her organs were failing. they told us to say goodbye to her.
she survived and now she's a term i call "dry drunk". she doesn't drink but she hasn't dealt with any of her issues.
and me well i carry on with life, the best i can. i make mistakes and get caught up in rescuing people from themselves but i've learnt that one day at a time i'll get there.
