daughter of an alcoholic - 10/13/08 03:29 AM
I'm the daughter of a closet alcoholic, abusive and neglectful parents. I've heard that you always end up with someone like your father (if ur female) and that seems to be what I keep on getting myself into.
The last guy wasn't drinking anymore, but after we'd been together for a couple of weeks I guess he thought he had me for good and started getting more and more neglectful and self-centered.
Does anyone here know how to break that cycle. I need to figure out how but I'm not sure where to go to get help figuring out what to watch for. I'm tired of always ending up with men that are like my xh who came in drunk one night and said, "Why are you being so good to me when I'm being such a bas***d to you?"
Any books on it or particular web sites? I've already googled it, but didn't really find anything that way.
I'm ready to break the chains that bind. I do believe I deserve better (took a lot of counseling to get there), I just seem to keep on hooking up with that type of man.
Help!
