These kids growing up in the crazy homes and they become crazy, its just what they know.

I spoke at an open AA meeting once and an A came up to me and told me that his parents were A's and they never "talked" about it. He said he thought it was great that I am open about their fathers disease with the kids.

Good luck with your little guy. He deserves peace and a loving home.
