I could go on and on regarding the negative effects living in the home of an alcoholic has on a child.
Why, because that was my childhood, and, I bear the scares yet today, and I am 64, have had countless hours of therapy, made some real bad decisions in my life, because monkey see, monkey do, dysfunction was all I knew.
I am still a work in process, and to be totally honest, I still harbour resentment towards my parents, it was all so unnecessary, one responsible parent could have made a real positive difference in my life.
