[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 117436, member: 1722"] Nomatic- My mom is a drunk... and not a dry one either. No experience with dry drunks here! I think Trinity's explanation sounds right, though. FWIW, my mother's alcohol and substance abuse didn't begin until after she left my father when I was six. I saw her one day weekly (Sunday) until I was eleven. Then it went to every other weekend until I was sixteen. Then I cut back visits drastically (every few months). So I didn't see my mother regularly and wasn't exposed constantly to her addictions. But I still show eight out of thirteen behaviors though I've been improving myself consistently since having Duckie because I didn't want her "infected" with the damage my mother caused me. [/QUOTE]
