In the US, there are 11 million children under the age of 18 living with at least 1 alcoholic parent.
Children with alcoholic parents are 4 times as likely to engage in excessive drinking at some point in their life. This can be attributed to genetic factors related to addiction or the normalization of unhealthy drinking habits in their family. They can experience loneliness, depression, anxiety, guilt, anger issues, and an inability to trust. Exploring typical environments and associated trauma can help adult children of addiction treat the wounds caused by their parent’s AUD.

In what ways has Trauma impacted you in your life?
I grew up in alcohol fueled dysfunctional family which lead to low self-confidence and low self-esteem. This held me back for many years in both my personal and professional life.
