Growing up with an alcoholic father profoundly impacted my views on drinking, leading to a strong sense of discipline that feels unsettling compared to others.
I avoided alcohol throughout my youth, only drinking in my 30s when motherhood made me feel I needed that one drink to unwind, triggering complicated emotions.
Instilling a sense of moderation in my kids became challenging when my partner’s carefree drinking style conflicted with my cautious upbringing and created tension.
Watching my husband drink freely underlines my fears and insecurities from my past; it feels like I'm reliving moments from my childhood all over again.
