Threads like this one really help me. I'm dont have alcoholic parents, but as many of you know my brother was alcoholic and I'm raising his son now. It helps me so much to know what my nephew may experience in later life, so I can prepare and support him.
Most of the rest of my family seem to think he'll be fine now, but from reading here I know his own experiences with his dad might stay with him for a long long time.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for this one, sometimes the thanks button just isn't enough.
