my father was an alcoholic.my brother is an alcoholic. i have never drank or used drugs. i have always felt so alone though. i am always afraid,of what,i don't know. i havenot been able to have a relationship in years. i was married for four years, to an alcoholic and drug abuser. he was also abusive. i did not want that life for my two girls.i had one long term relationship since then.i do not allow my self to get close to people.i am very friendly but will not allow myself to have an intimate or even close relationship.i believe this extends from the abusive way my father treated my mother and maybe more the wat the way my mother took it.i also don't understand how she put us in the position she did so often where we could be injured.many times we rode in the car with my dad so drunk he couldn't see.i feel my mind is so messed up. kyanth |

Welcome and big hugs! You are amongst friends and you will find much understanding and support here. Living in a sick environment seeps into us....it isn't our fault. We were not meant to live that way, so that it hurts us when we do. All of us here are on our own journies towards wellness. you are free here to talk all you want and you will be heard.

Hi Kyanth and welcome to SR. Isn't it ironic how we follow patterns in our lives that we really don't want to follow? You might want to check out the AlAnon forum on this thread as well. We're glad you're here and we'll offer you as much support and understanding as well. Anna |
