Labug, if you were in the Midwest I'd ask if we were related. That's precisely what my family was like. I didn't absorb the sarcasm/wit thing so much (though my H uses it a lot and it HURTS) because I'm not that quick on my feet, but I definitely was the weak link with the tears.
I found out this past spring that my dad's dad was a serious alcoholic (WWII infantry vet with lots of bad experiences). It explains a LOT about my childhood that I wish I'd known years ago. My parents rarely drank and were really sanctimonious about that and other things. I've been wondering lately what that means for me. You've talked a lot about AlAnon and I do wonder if that isn't applicable to me even though my family was fairly dry...
Alcohol among my in-laws is a real problem for me. Before we left the west coast my H was hiding beers in his desk drawer, though I would say he drinks too much rather than that he's got a real problem. On the other hand, perhaps I'm just not facing reality... ADD and alcohol are not good companions.
It's kind of scary to think that he might actually be alcoholic or headed in that direction.
