Can relate. Thank you for helping us be heard❤

There was no discussing anything openly in my family!

My dad was drunk driving and we crashed 2 times I was crying so hard and my sister and her friend had to go through it to my mom divorced him after because he would always drink I hate my dad he was never there 😭

Would love to talk to you bro

What an awesome host. Great interview

Thank you for this interview!

Adult children do not get enough support or recognition for surviving x

💙

Well said, Amy !

My parents are drunk and they always make some children abusing to me a lot of times they don’t give me a blanket I wish I had actually had some real parents like #Anazalafamily their not drunk and those parents seem nice.

You are OUR superhero Martin!!! Thank you for speaking our truth

Totally relate but I am sad hearing you explain it out loud, I feel sorry for myself hearing you verbalize this 😢 how sad for us 😢

Хорошо бы,если бы ваши передачи шли с русским переводом!🙏

Amazing ❤

Beautiful woman. What she said about secrets foisted on children by parents was spot on: I'm a performer (musician), but it's only at the age of nearly 50 that I can bear to be visible in my very awkward way. Most of the time I just want to hide. Ps. I wrote a whole poetry collection about my hypervigilance. It's uncanny how much I have in common with Geraldine even though alcohol didn't play a part in my childhood... I think it's the secrets thing.... Thank you both for this profound interview.

I found this so interesting. I am an adult ‘kid’ of an alcoholic parent. With my husband, I quietly struggle with down moods and instantly want to make things better. It was really interesting to hear you say this and will make me reflect on this.

My father’s drinking ruined every holiday. The police were at our house because of his behaviors. Car accidents, setting off fire works drunk driving. I hate holidays now because of the bad memories. Everything was about him. He ruined his career because of drinking. He stopped drinking late in life and ended up without a pension .

❤❤❤❤❤

So true, I also try to fix everything. My wife has to say, " I don't need you to fix this...just listen." And then she tells me. This helps our relationship.

Shame it's taking ages for me

Both my parents died from alcohol, my mum drowned in the bath and my dad died a horrendous death from all sorts of alcohol related diseases. It was just the worst. 😢 I was an alcoholic until my dad died and I stopped. There is help and you can do it. Stay strong.

Fantastic documentary. Well done on making it and wish you great success! 🙏🏽

Ashworth is the spastic of politics.

❤

Calum is the best....stay off the booze with me...boon

Thank you 🙏

❤️

Two book ends!!

Should send that money to gaza for watching by innocent children getting killed and doing nothing. With power comes responsibility over all innocent humans

Calum , I know the work you do for our amazing charity NACOA and giving those little children a voice who are being traumatised in their own home by their parents drinking … It shines through what It means to you and you are the Ace in the Pack…Great video pal … Onwards ❤️❤️

Calum thank you so much for sharing this journey! It means the world to see you grow.

Love listening to Tony. He's so honest a real TOP GUY . Great interview this 👍

Thank you John I grew up wi an alcoholic father. Twas THE family secret . We NEVER spoke of it. It was awful. I understand your pain. Forgive mum, forgive dad. They had pain also. But for a child it’s horrible. Be good to yourself Let their lives be an example to you of what NOT to do in life. I am 73…. I know now that pain and shame never goes away.

❤❤❤

Martin, thank you for this. I too, am an adult child of a horrific alcoholic.

Moved me to tears. My kids lost their mum to alcohol 9 months ago. It’s such a horrible disease. Big hugs

It takes a lot of courage to sit in front of a camera and be vulnerable like this and Martin did an amazing job. It was a pleasure telling Martins story and I have been so pleased to hear all of the feedback. I understand how valuable it was for Martin to hear the stories of other people in the Nacoa community. Knowing that sharing this story is going to play a part in helping people with similar life experiences to Martin is really special for me. This is exactly why I got into filmmaking. Thanks Nacoa for sharing this film 😊

Martin you are such an inspiration and such a kind human ❤ thank you for sharing your story and empowering others to wear their capes too 😊

You are a superhero Martin! So sorry to hear about your initial experience with the GP. Your commitment to helping others in creative ways is so inspiring. X

Martin you are nothing short of a superhero. 🥹💙

Adult children of Alcoholics helps

this is how my dad acts and its an absolute nightmare.

disgusting parents

Thanks for making this, I wouldn't tell anyone when I was a child for fear of being taken away. The reality of alcohol abuse is heartbreaking and its not going away. More support for children ❤

Beautiful song as well. ❤

Thank you John as this is an excellent documentary. ❤

Achool issues runs in the family. I don't drink alcohol no longer

Great documentary john.So many good people trying to help and change young people's futures with not enough resources or funding.The government should be ashamed of themselves. I think half of milton of campsie had a drink problem when i was growing up there.i remember getting the bus to work at 7 in the morning for my 1st job and all the older ones i knew from the craigfoot would be drinking their cans going to work.Then they would go to the pub for a few pints on the way home. All the times i spent with you i never realised you had a problem but i knew your older relatives liked a drink(Alex's dad,sailor,shug ...) Good to see you looking well and turned your life around. sorry i missed you when you were up in Scotland.Keep up the good work John All the best

Thank you for this. I am an alcoholic parent. My detox date is booked for 9 days from now. With the GP, counsellor, and psychologists help, I can do this. I must do this. Grateful for any prayers and luck anyone can wish me and my children. I quit meth 7 years ago, I can quit this too. Thank you again. Xx

Thank you for this. I am not a child of an alcoholic parent, but the spouse of one and my children are those children - I am eternally grateful for the support that my parents gave. When he was sober, he was a wonderful man and father. May he have found his peace
