I receive a lot of emails from people who are in a relationship with an adult child of alcoholics. Ideally, every baby born into this world is surrounded by unselfish, patient love and nurturing from at least one or two parents. This comes primarily form the mother in the very beginning, who is supported by a loving, consistent partner. The more inconsistency and chaos in the household, the more stress on the baby—which means more cortisol produced in the body. What follows is in no way to be interpreted as an excuse for bad behavior, by the way. Just like anyone adult child, or not , if someone has issues that are unresolved, the relationship will be used, in some fashion, to process the issues. That will often result in a short-lived relationship, but not always. Find out if the person you care for has done any self-improvement work to deal with their childhood, whether therapy, a twelve-step group, lots and lots of reading, or some other, structured, form of working through the problems that a childhood with an alcoholic parents creates. A good rule of thumb, by the way, is to set a time-limit on your decision; put your decision to end your relationship on hold for 2 weeks, 2 months, 6 months, etc. We Have a Soft Core, But a Steel Wrapper We are extremely sensitive people and we are very sensitive to other people—all people, including strangers.
