it reduces the elimination of dopamine thus making you feel happy. When im happy im not sad. thats all there is to it.
Do you have a source I could read? I tried to find it myself and I'm finding other unrelated things.

How did you handle your parents treating you that way?
Pooooooorly haha. Reactive, aggressive, trying to guilt-trip mum, breaking dad's shit. Running away often. Was a right cunt about it. Briefly got sectioned (in a psychiatric ward) for being generally off the wall. I get a bit manic sometimes, even though I'm usually a high-energy kind of operator.

Sometimes alcoholism masks other disorders, sometimes not.
Either way, the alcoholism is enough to wreck the kids.
Have you got anything in mind as far as self improvement goals? You're over 18, so jumping up and down about your asshole mother won't get you much now. Family counselling or w/e might have been an option when you were younger. But... meh. Also, it's not really doable now that you're an adult.
Is there smthg you want to do with your life?
(besides being an adorable twinkie and making Mama X lactate all over her fee fees ;))
^.^ Cheers Mama. As for what I wanna do with my life: My only discernible skill is talking much and often which has been GREAT for some jobs and FUCKING TERRIBLE for others. I wanna find one where it's an advantage. I sell cars at the moment and it works there, but it's a fucking waaaste of time. Maybe being like a film director would suit me but piiiipedream.

Fiiiiiiiine.
Alcohol is often used by many disorders as a form of self-medicating, and many disorders have as a symptom a reduction of inhibition. With how readily available that it is, it's no mystery why alcohol consumption would piggie-back disorder, and from seeing the consumption of it it's easy to assume it must be the liquor that's the sole cause if they aren't as used to watching them sober.
It doesn't help that alcohol itself reduces inhibition, in effect enabling if not strengthening symptoms in many cases. What would normally be a person trying to hide their traits instead becomes a drunken showboating of them.
Yeah I always had more sympathy for my mum than my dad because in my mind, she's just an alcoholic (with maybe a bit of depression and anxiety), but my dad has no excuse for being physical etc. Idek if that's a logical way to look at it but even though I get WAY more pissed at mum, I've never really loved dad the way I love her.
