Trying something else
Hello all. I'm an adult child of addicted/alcoholic parents. When I was younger, I thought their use was totally normal. I didn't know any different. And it was OK for me to use as well which took my life down a totally destructive path before I even graduated High School and I began using drugs and alcohol with my mom on an almond almost daily basis. I got clean and sober in 2008 at the age of 21. My mom did not. She died of an overdose last October. And I didn't think so at the time, but it's really messed me up. I'm struggling with forgiveness. I'm so angry at her. For how I was raised. For taking me down the path she took me down. For not protecting me. For not being there for me through my adult life - my wife, my kids, my life. I'm an active member of AA but clearly I've never addressed these issues appropriately. Maybe I just need to do another 4th step? Looking for any support.
