Me, too! I thought everybody (except me) smoked pot, dealt drugs out of their houses, drank and used and fought and lied and cheated and stole and manipulated and... and... and... I've come to discover that not all families are this sick, but soooooooooooo many are.
The environment I lived in was "normal" for me, as it was my only experience and my frame of reference for what life was supposed to be like. I lived
with alcoholism and addiction, but really, I lived
in DENIAL.
As painful as it was to find out the truth about my family, I'm glad I did. Today I know I have choices as to how my own family will live...
