How do your kids or grands feel about your abuse?

I worry everyday about the children and family I want to have. That's what has kept me sober in the past.

My daughter is very young, so I'm not sure, but I was one of those kids too. I mean, I could write for hours about how I felt about my dad's drinking, but I guess to sum it up, I came out of that house feeling like I was fundamentally broken and worthless.

My son hated it. I could see it in his eyes the older he got & the more he could understand. He even went so far ask to ask me to not drink some evenings. It breaks my heart to think about it now. He's 13 now & he's very proud of his sober mom. There's no better feeling.

Someone posted this not to long ago. It's heartbreaking & chilling but effective. It's the way I felt every time my dad drank. When I'm completely honest with myself, it's probably the way my son felt too.

I feel the same way. My father was an alcoholic and I hated it. It makes me wonder why I decided to pick up the first drink. My grands really hated it and often the 2 year old also, saying don't open it. My grown
kids would just look and say stop...Didn't get drunk, but knew enough was enough.
