Thanks for responding. That is, I think, a really important statement to take a look at. I had faith xAH would get better for a lot of selfish reasons. I don't mean selfish in a judgmental way, either. I was blinded by how I wanted things to be in my ideal world and today I believe I hurt more than helped xAH in the process.
Check out the Adult Children of Alcoholics forum. Many of my friends come from alcoholic homes and the stories are not pretty; the damage runs deep.
