[quote=Anonymous]Just chiming in here.  My dad is a recovering alcoholic and like yours, was very high functioning. You might not think your children will notice if he's a quiet drunk, but my sister once drew a picture of a party and drew my dad in the corner, drunk and on the floor.  When she showed it to him, he asked if this is how she saw him and started crying.

My dad has gone through periods of sobriety and then relapse, but today I'm happy to say he's alcohol-free.  He also claimed it was due to boredom, but as it turns out, he has had adult ADD all his life and was never treated for it (he's on meds today).  His family doesn't know about this issue, but it's clear they all have issues with drinking themselves, even if not outright alcoholism.

Interestingly enough, my parents had fertility problems that were most likely due to my dad.  They didn't run more specific tests to find out, but now I wonder if it could've been caused by his alcoholism.  My parents adopted my sister and me and I am grateful not to have the genetic link to alcoholism.

Good luck, OP.[/quote]
