Issues

This was brought up briefly in a thread in yesterday's meme.

So what I want to know is:

What are your Daddy/Mommy/Parental issues?

My mom bailed on me and my dad when things got rough. I tracked her down a couple years later and found out she was an alcoholic. Spent my college money to get her treatment. She lied to me about being better and then split with a big bonus my dad got for a case.

So, yeah, that's why I don't drink often and why I don't plan on having kids.

Couldn't you take the lessons you learned from your mother and... well maybe not be an alcoholic?

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

In theory, yes.

But the last couple of times I got drunk, I, uh... made some potentially ill-advised decisions.

Yeeeeessss. And for that you blame the al-al-al-al-alcohol?

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, not really. Because I was using the alcohol to avoid dealing with my other issues.

I'm big on repression.
