Basics of this Zone
![]() photo by Don Fulano |
This is something that has been important to me for a very long time. When I was dealing with my dad's alcoholism as well as the fact that it was killing him. I looked everywhere trying to find some information. Hoping beyond hope to find someone somewhere who might understand a little of what I was going through.
Unfortunately, I found very little. I have always felt there should be more information available. Growing up in a home with an alcoholic parent leaves effects on a person that last for many years if not forever. It is my desire as an adult who grew up with an alcoholic parent to reach out to others who are dealing with the effects of growing up in an alcoholic household.
There is no need to compare battle scares. There is however, a need to know that someone else out there somewhere understands and is dealing with some of the same confusion and emotions. We as adults, finally have the right to break down the walls we built in order to protect ourselves.
In so doing we can finally realize who we are and acknowledge the potential that is inside of us. The potential that for so many years has been hidden because of the secret torment we had to deal with in our lives. Together we can as adults get past the shame, confusion, embarrassment and anger as well as the multitude of other emotions that for so many years kept us from accepting ourselves or allowing others to get close to us.
I hope this zone will help you or someone you love,
Carolina
