I suspect that a lot of things that occurred are too painful to remember.
I don't have a lot of memories of my early childhood, when my father was an active, late-stage alcoholic. The memories I do have are unpleasant, or lonely and sad at best.
Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings and therapy helped me greatly, and Al Anon does now. I strongly recommend Al Anon to anyone who's been affected by alcoholism.
