Characteristics of Adult Children of Alcoholics Growing Up Invisible

When you are the adult child of an alcoholic, unfortunately, you are forced to live inside a family system that is rooted in denial. The children's problems in a home wrought with addiction go ignored. One of the major stumbling blocks for adult children of alcoholics is denial. Adult children of alcoholics become approval seekers, people-pleasers, enablers, fixers, and doers, and quickly take on codependent traits within interpersonal relationships. We are those who enter into relationships without a strong sense of self and assume total responsibility for the outcomes of relationships. Our childhood homes were chaotic, and as adults, we seek control by controlling our emotions, never asking for help, and always waiting for the next shoe to drop. In this episode, Lisa speaks to those who struggled with alcoholic parents and never understood how much our childhoods impacted us. Lisa A.
