Just gonna put this out there first, I'm not an attention whore, I'm not here to plead for your sympathy or any of that, I just truly am at a loss for words and don't know what to do.
If you are here to make stupid remarks and/or call me the above then your best to just leave, as I won't respond to you.
So I've been living with my grandparents for about a year and a half, due to my actual parents being horribly dysfunctional and abusing me. They would always argue with each other and typically end with my dad assaulting my step mother and/or me. Then when he would leave for work she would decide to return her anger to me. This went on for years of my life until my grandparents took a step in and gained custody of me.
I'm currently 16 years old, I've loved my grandparents to death my entire life, but always my relationship with my grandma has been stronger, as my grandpa is a relatively unsociable person.
But I've always known his love for me and my grandma was very clearly present.
My grandpa has lived a hard life, he's seen and done a lot, and worked hard for his living. We're a modest family with my sister, grandparents, and I. My grandpa has always drank scotch and other forms of hard liquor since my earliest memories.
Well about 10 months ago, the drinking very slowly got worse, it went from a bottle of scotch every two weeks to this months literally a bottle every day or two.
His mood has been the same way, he has always been a more pessimistic person, that's something I've lived with forever so it's easy to overcome, but it's gotten extremely worse.
Today was horrible. Me and my grandma were coming home from school and stopped at a nearby town to pick up a pizza for dinner, when we got home my grandpa was in his room and had already begun his drinking for the day.
Well he started out of his room and I replied with my usual "Hows your day been grandpa?"
He retorted the usual "Good, and you?"
The conversation went along and I went to my computer room to switch on the computer, returned to the kitchen to get a few slices of pizza and went back to the computer room.
Then it started, my grandma had said something to my grandpa to anger him, it was about the grade I have in Biology (which is a D)
He said something as well (a negative comment), and it set off my grandma
She has always, always had a problem with his drinking and lately shes gotten even worse about it.
Well she pointed to the bottle of scotch and said "Well it doesn't matter your angry they'll fix it anyways"
He immediately retorted "Shut up."
Now keep in mind both voices are raised and the words my grandfather said were hard and cold.
I sat there and just saw my entire life flash of my fathers drinking issue and the constant fighting going on.
My grandpa has never, ever, said anything that disrespectful to anyone. He kept saying it too, it didn't just end there.
So now my grandma is in her room, my grandpa in his, and I'm completely falling to pieces with no idea what to do.
