Then you are aware of course of an organization called "Adult Children
of Alcoholics" which is a subchapter of AA?  A very good organization.
One of my friends in Utah attended regularly as he came from an 
alcoholic family and he was finally learning to love his parents instead
of hating them.  Incidently, he also was alcoholic and attended AA also.
 
KO> Coming from a dysfunctional family can be a source of strength 
Coming from a dysfunctional family is a life-crippling event and should
be treated as such.  You may not even be aware of all the mental 
damage that you have sustained.
