agent99, will check out the link in a bit. sorry I haven't gotten to your thread today, I've been a bit self-involved. so much drama. so much rollercoaster. and have I ever mentioned, I hate rollercoasters? I do. I hate them. big thunder mountain, now that is my kind of ride, lol. just perfect, as far as I am concerned. anything bigger just sucks. and boy, is all this crap a whole lot bigger.
I had it lucky, as far as children of alcoholics. my dad was functioning, earned a good living, the only thing we, as children, noticed was that he got more talkative (which would mean, talkative at all). he never drank at home, was never violent. I know I am still affected by it, but lets just say I know i had it pretty good. the stories I could tell were mainly from other people. when dad was in treatment, I was 17, and we did lots and lots of group therapy at his in-treatment place. stuff for kids, stuff for just the families, stuff for families and addict/alcoholics. its the stories many of the addicts told that I remember even more than my own dad's issues. I swear the reason I never in my life did an illicit drug was because of that...nothing will scare a person faster than listening to a coke addict tell his story.
hope things are going well with you. will check on your thread later tonight....hopefully I'll be in for a quieter one.
