The purpose of this qualitative study is to investigate if children to parent/parents who abuse alcohol have found ways to strengthen themselves, and how they deal with their everyday life and their own feelings and health. To get answers to our study, we have read seven biographies which we have analyzed by using coping theory. Our study shows that the children in our empiricism are keeping their parents abuse as a secret. Our study shows that children have found strategies to cope and manage to live with parents with alcohol abuse, even though their childhood conditions have been difficult and they had few people around to support them.
