I don't feel like I had a bad childhood, but now as an adult I have been feeling alot of distress with alcohol. I'm 24 and have always been a super responsible person. I don't drink even a sip. Recently, I find myself always avoiding social settings, because I don't to be around alcohol. I feel major anxiety when I hear people talking about how good all these drinks are. I feel like I am becoming less social as time passes by. I used to say I didn't want to be like everyone else, but now I'm starting to realize that I am just terrified. I get very upset over one beer that my partner consumes. I know this isn't normal and I feel like its getting worst. Isabella, What do you think? I feel like this new fear is consuming my life. Where do I go from here. Vanessa Hi everyone,

I grew up with an alcoholic father. I don’t feel like I had a bad childhood, but now as an adult I have been feeling alot of distress with alcohol. I’m 24 and have always been a super responsible person. I don’t drink even a sip. Recently, I find myself always avoiding social settings, because I don’t to be around alcohol. I feel major anxiety when I hear people talking about how good all these drinks are. I feel like I am becoming less social as time passes by. I used to say I didn’t want to be like everyone else, but now I’m starting to realize that I am just terrified. I get very upset over one beer that my partner consumes. I know this isn’t normal and I feel like its getting worst. Isabella, What do you think? I feel like this new fear is consuming my life. Where do I go from here.

I would just like to update that my mother has now left korea and has been undergoing an enormous amount of hands-on treatment for the last 5 months back in America. Even though we had to force her into treatment, she has made a 360, and is significantly growing stronger and stronger each day. I feel sorry for Marian, the fact that she has so much built up anger for her mother and hopes that she spends eternity in agony breaks my heart. I'll surely be praying for your mother and for yourself, that you'll both find the Lord. -amber Hey, i’m back.

i can see how you found reading this disturbing. your experience directly contradicts what this article says.

can i put this in context for you? first of all, i am just reporting on the article. i didn’t do the research myself, or even write the full article – just a report on it.

I have to say, when your silly articles say that the alcoholic parent does not directly affect the child, they're wrong. My mother's addiction controls my every thought, action, every dream at night is a nightmare. The constant fear of losing my mother to her addiction is suffocating. My mother was a phenominal mother, i was adopted along with my twin sister when we were babies, and she's been extraordinary until she developed this disease. She is not even the same person anymore. She lies, steals, harms herself. I don't understand how someone could write that their addiction doesn't directly affect the child? The worst thing is she refuses to get help and claims she'll kill herself before going to detox/rehab. Hi i’m fifteen years old and my mother is a very severe alcoholic.
