I would suggest to anyone that growing up in an alcoholic family doesn't do anyone any favors. My parents so neglected their health that they both died before I turned 20, and before they reached 60. Unfortunately for me, neither had any savings, retirement, or life insurance.
- jacquesm 3y agoAs the son of an alcoholic father: I'm really happy that I didn't grow up there and if he'd have kicked me out if I did that would have been doing me a favor. So yes, that was meant in a sympathetic way. And my dad too died young, but not quite that young.
- justinator 3y agoI'm sorry to hear that too. I'm very glad to hear that you seem to be doing well. It's not always the case and the scars are oftetimes internal and invisible. Take care of yourself.
- jacquesm 3y agoThanks, and likewise! One thing for me: no alcohol, ever. That's the biggest remaining thing even though there are probably many others this one is the most outward visible. And what amazes me is the amount of peer pressure applied to get you to change from a resolution like that, it's just incredible how this seems to be some kind of red cloth for some people.
