[quote=Anonymous]A-. My mother was a functioning alcoholic. I didn’t even find out until I was in 8th grade. She would drink after we went to bed and then go to work with a hangover in the morning. That was the main problem. My parents both worked but always made it to our sporting events, performances, volunteered at school, etc. Very involved. We also took lots of family trips, lived close to extended family, had a pet, had home cooked meals, etc. Also, they had a happy marriage. So on paper, really wonderful parents. However, I never really felt like I could go to my mom with anything and our house was a bit ...cold. No real affection shown to the kids, and she was so freaking uptight about certain stuff that it gave me anxiety. Now I know that some of that Was likely due to her drinking, but it was still hard.
