Hi,
I am 45 years old. I grew up with both of my parents being alcoholics and my two older brother have followed that path. I myself seldom drink. I've only been drunk twice in my life and the last time I was 22!years old. As a result of growing up in a alcoholic home I have found I have trouble keeping good relationships. I lost my parents when I was 25. My mother died as a result of her alcoholism and after she passed i moved my father in with me to care for him. 9 months after my mother passed. My father passed in a awful way. He was leaving my home he got out of his car to open the gate and his car ran him over killing him. Then three weeks after I lost my father I was in a bad car accident that fractured my neck. I suffered for 18 years with three herniated discs in my neck. In 2013 I had two of the discs removed and two cervical cages put in. So I guess it's safe to say I've had some trauma in my life. And I don't have anyone to talk to who understands what goes on in my head. Because until you've been there you can't even begin to fathom what it's like. I hope I can find someone on this forum who can understand some of it or maybe I can help someone who's gone thru similar things.
