WOW AM I an ACOA?
I just did a quiz of characteristics of ACOA. I scored 19/20 yes'. That is 95%. :wow:
Yes my Dad drank. I assume he drank daily. I really can't remember. I never saw him drunk. I never saw him slur his words. He was never an angry drunk. I think he treated my Mum well. She died when I was 15. i know he drank more after her death. My memory of my childhood is mostly good. It is vague.
I am an alcoholic. I stopped drinking 2 years ago.
I am married to an alcoholic. The marriage is mediocre to say the least.
I can't help ask myself. Did my Dad's drinking have a significant impact on me. Eithout me ever realising it ?
