[QUOTE="witzend, post: 276044, member: 99"] You know, I went to a parenting class with a counselor who did one night about kids and drugs/alcohol. He said that there was a study done on the emotional growth of alcoholics, and that because they turn to alcohol instead of working through their problems - usually at an early age - they never really mature past that emotional state because they dealt with it by drinking instead of facing the problem head on. Like my sister S, who started drinking when she was about 15. She picks fights with people then starts crying because life is so sad that everyone can't get along. Literally. Just like a 15 year old girl who wants the world to be perfect and expects everyone to see things her way and do things her way then cries and (really truly) screams that "no one understands how hard my life has been!" Well, yeah, I guess. If you count not understanding how you could choose three failed marriages and countless alienated family members because of your drinking instead of just being an adult as not understanding, I suppose I can relate to that.
