My parents were devoted to us, but they drank way too much when we were teens and it caused a lot of unhappiness. Even with the benefit of adult perspective I think they dropped the ball for those years.

This didn't stop me developing a drinking habit in my 40s-50s but thankfully the kids were gone by then, and didn't have to live with it. I was mainly drinking on my own.
