I also didn't say that you did. That's not where I was going with that.

I started drinking at age 6, but that's beside the point,as is my brother.I was just using him as an example yet it seems to be the focus of this thread and now I wish I hadn't done that.It could be any average Joe I'm referring to in this thread,not specifically my brother.

Okay, so let be clear. The average Joe on the street who blames their parents b/c they wouldn't let them play sports whatever is an idiot. The average Joe on the street also hasn't experienced intense child abuse. This why your posts can be confusing. I, also, think for many of us who have experienced actual child abuse, and not just parents who were hard to live with, can sometimes forget just hard our lives have been. Yes, some people are more resilient than others. There are many factors that contribute to this. Some of these are things like personality and IQ or whether or not a mental illness is present. Also, everyone has their own path to recovery. At the end of the day, you cannot help someone who isn't ready or doesn't want, for whatever reason, to put in the work themselves. Have a nice day.
