Yeah.
I'm breaking the intergenerational cycle of alcoholism and addiction for our children, just like I did for my self when I matured enough to see it for what it is.
Our children will not grow up mired in the shame intrinsic to being raised in a household addled by addiction.
As a child of alcoholism/addiction when we truly grow up, we stop blaming our parents for their shortcomings, and realize it's our turn to do better.
I don't care what that means to their relationship with their mother.
