Children of Addicted Parents and People

One of the hardest things i find about having grown up with an alcoholic parent is the after affects for me..... having learnt how to focus on myself i am now a happy person, who has come out of a very sad childhood and long depression!

Now though, i find it hard to get a happy medium between allowing myself to move on and stop focussing on the past and realising that there are still many things i need to fix. Not only listening and reading other peoples stories but connecting with people on this website and in life helps me to see how not only am i not alone in this and abnormal in my experiences but there are many ways of coping and people do let go of their anger and hurt..... even after much more intense experiences than i have been through....! We all feel the same emotions!
