I did not grow up in an alcoholic home.
I did grow up with two parents who I think did grow up in an alcoholic home.
I learned the lesson of co-dependency well (especially from the maternal side who I grew up around). In all honesty I think it is the reason I choose the relationship that got me here.....so I could start this journey of healing.
I am finding the ingrained patterns with my family a harder long-term challenge than the relationship!
