There are also parents who drink a lot of alcohol and that become very aggressive. When parents suddenly start behaving differently a lot of the time or they no longer do things that they used to do for you and your siblings, that is worrying. Sometimes you might also be embarrassed about what\u2019s going on at home and you may try to hide it from your friends and your teachers. Maybe you try to replace your parents by helping more at home or by taking care of your siblings. On top of this, you try to get good results at school.    &#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:p|text_align:left&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Raleway%3A100%2C200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800%2C900|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;You may be afraid of the consequences of people knowing how your mum or dad really are.
