[quote=Anonymous]I went off the rails around 15/16 when my parents got divorced. I started drinking then and drank excessively until a few years ago. My parents were both very much enmeshed in their new relationships, and I was left alone a lot. I slept around for some validation and am shocked I never got pregnant, murdered by some random man I went home with, or died in a drunk driving accident. Thankfully I survived, did well in college/grad school, and finally got my drinking under control. I also finally got treatment for my anxiety and depression which made a huge difference in my quality of life. I'm very open with my teenage son about my struggles and am trying to keep communication open with him. He also has a good psychiatrist and is on medication for his anxiety. I felt very alone and scared at his age and wish that my parents had found some help for me.[/quote]
