I can relate.... there is a lot of addiction in my family as well. Dad is a non-drinking alcoholic. Then there is the behavior of the brother that prompted me to start this thread. A sister has a real problem with alcohol, even when she isn't drinking, she's rather loud and obnoxious. Another brother is a gambler and a meth head... the other sister seems to be doing okay. She seems the most stable. She just finished up her degree, and has had stable, gainful employment for many years, and keeps moving up.

I feel most healthy when I'm away from my family. I'd actually like to get further away...
