[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They should know that they may be genetically predisposed to addiction and should be very aware of this as they are nearing the age when alcohol and drugs will be readily available to them.[/quote]This is [i]very[/i] important! We made it clear to dd growing up that she might be genetically predisposed to addiction and we talked about the availability of 12-step programs. When she realized she had a problem, she addressed it relatively quickly and started attending AA. This may not happen to your kids but this is not just about your kids' relationship with their aunt, it's about their own safety as well. Also it's possible they will have to deal with addicts in other parts of their lives. It's important that they learn that they can care for someone but not let that person's addiction run their lives. It's important that they learn about this now.[/quote]
