My parents are deceased, but both of them were alcoholics. My very small family now is just very dysfunctional. I'm a recovering alcoholic (19 yrs sober), my son is in the very early stages of recovering from alcoholism, my daughter has issues which are undiagnosed and I'm not even sure what they are, although I believe she's depressed with anger issues. Why wouldn't she, when she was brought up with alcoholic parents (her father was an alcoholic too, although he didn't go into recovery and is now deceased).

So everyone was/is a mess in my family.
