I'm very happy to find this specific forum. My father is a recovering alcoholic who's been sober for about 15 years. I'm now in my mid-twenties so my child was very chaotic while he was drinking. I've long dealt with anxiety and depression and figured it was related but the lockdown has given me time to think and become aware that ACOA is a recognized thing in the way we recognize a mental or substance disorder. I clearly have difficulties establishing and maintaining personal relationships. I still mainly hang out with a few friends from high school. I still live at home despite being professionally successful and I've had no serious romantic relationships. I felt lonely and isolated even pre-pandemic and working on these social issues has gone from difficult to borderline impossible.
