My oldest daughter is 13 now and has social difficulties. My younger daughter (7) is very happy and social, but she does also have some anxieties. Her anxieties are more along the lines of fear of bees and things like that, though. It seems to run through my family. The main stressor (drinking) for me has been removed, but I'm guessing the damage had already been done. I did a lot of work on myself in therapy in part hoping that I would be able to help her. I always responded to their cries and tried to meet their needs as best as I could. It's just painful to think that I might have hurt her in any way.
Back to Rainbow then. Sorry.
