It really does affect the whole family. My daughter ( younger than son) was really traumatised when it was at it’s worst.
It was like being exposed to some dark underworld that we didn’t know existed.
She saw us upset and stressed a lot, while she was trying to study.
It must have been awful for her, I know it was for us.
Part of the 12 steps program is to say sorry to those you’ve hurt, and to make amends. He did that.
We can all hopefully forgive and forget and move on with our lives now .
Let’s start to be good to ourselves and start putting ourselves and others first. No point in making ourselves ill with worry.
Take care all.
