Every person who is raised in an alcoholic family experiences abandonment. There are two types: physical & emotional.

There’s enough children experiencing #aces for the need for blanket treatment in schools. We should be looking to give the children the power back. Lived experiences shared in schools so children can begin to understand their own sufferings.

If you have ever wondered what it feels like to feel unwanted just ask anyone with an alcoholic parent.

[INTERNET POST @internetpost01]

If you can't change a situation, change your perception of it. That's where your personal power is. Either be in control, or be controlled.

[Kelly Montgomery MFT @KMontgomerymft]

Communication is lauded as the cornerstone of open, healthy relationships because it works. Keep the lines open. Break any unproductive habit that allows resentment to live unaddressed between you.
