Children of alcoholics often develop anxiety and low self esteem....not to mention anger issues. Sounds like he's pretty young but if you get concerned there is always therapy for him and Alateen as he grows older. Can really help.
Thank you Frickaflip
He and I left a violent, abusive 'home' last year. He's getting some help with that and I have made them aware of my battle with alcohol and how he says it makes him feel. I want him to feel safe after everything he's been through - and he did until I started drinking heavily again during the summer.
