I can eerily relate to so much of this. The excruciating urge to save them, eventually followed by the acceptance that their recognition or desire to save *me* was never going to come, that only I could help myself. I definitely experienced my own version of “alone and undiscovered” (beautifully written). Thank goodness, in many ways, for the moment that emphasised the undeniable self abandonment. Thanks so much for sharing, Hannah 💌
I related to so much of this! I'm also a child of an alcoholic and this is the first time I've read anything as open and honest about it - outside of 12 step meetings. Thank you for sharing!
I loved this.also child of alcoholics. This really describes the feeling of having parents that are….well,f#*+#* up! I too had a moment of realization when I was describing some awful moment to my therapist and telling her that well it’s ok, it wasn’t that bad and she said WHAT! That’s terrible. Permission to feel what it was really like.
Hi, I am also the adult child of alcoholic parents. I related to this so much from an eating disorder to classy grandparents. Thank you for sharing this. ♥️
