Hi Mandy. Are you still living with your alcoholic/addicted parent? What are you dealing with?
I have been married and have my own family for decades now but the impact shaped who I am. It is a great comfort to "meet" others who grew up like I did. Be sure to read the posts above that are "stickies" they have a lot of good info. and feel free to read my blog, click on the number under my name.

And thank you everyone for your warm welcomes it's so nice to now I'm not alone.
No you're not alone, we all have suffered in one way or another. My alcoholic Dad was a physical beater and beat me and most of my siblings daily till we left home at 18 and told to never come back. He drank till he was 80 and arrested for trying to shoot my enabling Mom, sent to lockup treatment. Then died sober 4 years later from Alzheimer's. I have a sibling that was so severely beat that she ended up with institutionalized Schizophrenia which some of her doctors suspect was brought on by head injury.
Have you gone to any ACoA meetings or done any counseling? What has helped you?

Thanks for re-introducing yourself! If you haven't already noticed, there's some great wisdom here.
Welcome!

I would like to thank you all again for your kindness and open arms.
Mandy,
Welcome to you, I am so glad you are here.
This forum is a safe, supportive and wonderful place.
Friends and Family and some of the other forums are a little more rough and tumble than this one.
Thank your for sharing your story, it is very brave of you, I think you will find as you read here that the stories stay much the same, only the names, faces, and places change.
If you need to rant, some propping up, or just a big vurtual hug, we will be here for you.
Have a great day,
Bill
