[quote=Anonymous]This conversation is interesting. My parents are not alcoholics but both of my maternal grandparents and one of my paternal grandparents were, and my parents grew up in very abusive, volatile homes. My parents were also abusive and neglectful towards my siblings and I, but without the alcoholism. My therapist has told me this is not uncommon, and there is even a book about it ([I]Grandchildren of Alcoholics: Another Generation of Co-Dependency[/I]). Basically my parents imposed the same dysfunctional dynamics from their own homes growing up on our home, even though they didn't have an alcohol dependency. I have most of the traits discussed in this thread, except for the thing about always have a Plan B, C or D. I sort of do that (huge worrier, always trying to anticipate problems) but because "freeze" is my main trauma response, when I am really struggling I tend to do nothing at all, and then later beat myself up for failing to act.[/quote]
