[b]Interesting - my mother is an alcoholic. Never thought of that as motivation for my perfectionism. Maybe. I do know it is part of my control issues with the environment. Things always felt out of control as a child so now I seek to control what I can. I know this. I'm working on it. I think it's actually okay if done constructively (been doing fly lady) lol The other thing I got my mouth and nastiness from my mother.[b]
This is pretty much the definition of and adult child of an alcoholic. You're a survivor, but the skill you learned to survive don't help much out here in the "real" world.
I feel like the library lady because I'm always suggesting books, but it's all was been the way I learn. As we say at AlAnon take what you can use, leave the rest.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
