I want to be informed more about the effects so that I have better understanding of all this. does anyone have any links? I've found some articles with serches, but they were kinda brief with not much info. ALso interested in articles on the cycle of codependency and alcohol in a marriage. And also the impact of alcohol on the sexual relationship.
Thanks

Lots of good info if you google "characteristics of adult children of alcoholics"

Here are two articles that are illuminating:

Adult Children of Alcoholics - Common Characteristics of Adult Children of Alcoholics

The Problem - Adult Children of Alcoholics - World Service Organization, Inc.

Dilemma of the Alcoholic Marriage (Al-Anon book) is a good one to start with. I was able to find a copy of it at the local library.
