Video Description

Let's talk about growing up with an addict or alcoholic parent or guardian and how this affects us now. There are many effects that we can have in our life due to having an alcoholic mother or father or both parents or guardians. Addiction is something that impacts millions of people and doesn't just touch the lives of alcoholics but the people around them, including their children. This is why we have programs like Adult Children of Alcoholics (or addicts) or Alanon, also known as ACOA - in which there are programs all over the world for adult children. Did you grow up with an alcoholic mom or an addict dad or perhaps you grew up with an alcoholic grandparent. The truth is that being an adult child of an alcoholic or addict parent can still have significant effects in our lives today. We can suffer from types of trauma or relationship issues - especially affecting our relationships with everyone around us. Let's talk about the 10 ways growing up with an addict or alcoholic parent or guardian is affecting us today. I would love to know what you think. Are you an adult child of an alcoholic or addict? How is this affecting you today? How has this impacted your life? Adult children need to make sure we get the support we need.
