"They are good, they are bad, They are weak, they are strong, They are wise, They are foolish - so am I"....................................Sam Walters Foss

We're not so different as we sometimes think. The fact is that almost everyone is an adult child in some way. The "they" we often position ourselves against, the supposedly normal people we may both admire and envy, are in reality all of us. Do they know more than we do? Are they healthier than we are? Are they better than we are? Who is more deserving-them? Or us? There are no correct answers to such questions.

In given situations, we all have been good and bad, weak and strong, wise and foolish. Countless situations, none of the alcohol-related, have created emotional havoc in family life. The children of these homes grew up just as unevenly as we did. They, too, have their stories, their scars, and their brave hopes. They try and fail and try again, just as we do. They are just as imperfect as we we are-and just as glorious.
