[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 117773, member: 1233"] If Adult Children of Alchoholics do not work to break the cycle, they raise Adult Granchildren of Alcoholics. I am one. You have the behaviors, but truly have no clue in many families that alcohol is behind them. I was a pregnant adult before I realized that my mom had laid the law down about my Gpa drinking around us. She said, and meant, that ONE drink around either of her kids meant that he would have NO contact with us again. He was a vicious drunk, but a pretty nice guy in many ways otherwise. But very much a gfgparent. So, if you are an ACA, it really does help to go to meetings (there are even special Al-Anon meetings just for Adult Children) and try to break the cycle. The gene for alcoholism will still be there, but you can help with a LOT of the other stuff. Susie [/QUOTE]
