ACOA - Adult Children of Alcoholics

How you dealt with being the child of an alcoholic? Not very well. I have PTSD and other related issues which are related to my childhood.

Do you still harbor ill feelings? Yes I do, though its pointeless. My father is dead now as of a year and a half ago.

Have you forgiven your parent/parents? I am not all that sure what forgiveness is in my instance, but there was a lot more going on than alcoholism.

Did/do you seek counseling? Yes, I am in therapy and getting much better about things.

Do you yourself drink?
I used to drink a lot, but now I drink minimally in social settings only and then pretty rarely. I don't like how alcohol makes me feel any more.

I don't have children.
