Hi Kelly Jo, just here to offer support & encouragement. Hugs.
Ken, add me to the poll. My dads father died young from alcoholism. My mothers father died young from alcoholism. My father is an alcoholic. My 1st stepfather used drugs & drank. My 2nd stepfather drank & used drugs, socially. My 3rd stepfather, well, I moved out.
M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
