[quote=Anonymous]Two siblings - both addicitions. One's struggle started in their teens but the other's alcoholism didn't kick in (seemingly) until their 30's. Spent waaaaaay too much time trying to help and it was wasted energy that took a huge toll on me. Now I'm fairly distant from both and I'm much healthier as a result. Lots of cousins w/ addiction and mental illness struggles also. Seems like we have a strong genetic propensity towards it in our family. There's me and one other cousin who have managed to have solid marriages, kids, careers, and a reasonably stable life but we are very much the minority.[/quote]
