They tend to suffer from more stress and they have unrealistically high expectations, leading them to frequent disappointment.
Growing up with an alcoholic parent leaves a mark that many carry into adulthood. In this episode of 'The Alcohol Minimalist Podcast', host Molly Watts opens up about her personal journey as an adult child of an alcoholic. Drawing from her research for the book 'Breaking the Bottle Legacy', Molly dives into the characteristics commonly seen in children of alcoholics, as outlined by Dr. Janet Woititz in her bestseller, 'Adult Children of Alcoholics'.
These traits include guessing at what normal behavior is and overreacting to situations beyond their control. Molly also sheds light on how these learned behaviors contribute to emotional immaturity and anxiety in relationships. She shares candid stories about how her mother's emotional immaturity influenced her own struggles with alcohol. By understanding these patterns, Molly offers a pathway to breaking free from them. This episode isn't just about highlighting problems; it's about finding solutions and taking responsibility for one's actions.
Molly's insights are both enlightening and empowering, making this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to create a healthier relationship with alcohol and break free from the past.
