fallenchococookie replied to your post: “becoming a parent while alcoholic is child abuse”...
@system-family I honestly never met anyone who’s parent(s) had an alcohol problem of any sort who wasn’t affected by their parent’s alcoholism. Just a personal experience on my side.
"Affected by” is quite the vague term ;)
If you mean “not traumatized by”, then yeah we exist. (i think there’s a bit of a self-selection bias going on, folks who have experienced trauma being more likely to be in a situation where “my parents were/are alcoholics” is actually relevant to say, i.e. in spaces talking about abusive parents, where “alcoholic parent” is an explanation unto itself)
