[QUOTE="nlj, post: 680592, member: 17650"] I share your worry about my step-daughter. Her birth-mother is an alcoholic, as was her grandfather. She has the genes. It doesn't make it inevitable though. We bring her up with as much honesty and good-parenting as possible. What more can we do. I agree with RNO that you can't ruin your life, and their childhood, worrying about what may or may not happen in the future. Education about the reality of addiction and honesty about the problems of their parents and/or siblings are what you can give your daughters though. Don't be scared to talk about it. [/QUOTE]
