Calum Best, whose footballer father George Best died from alcohol related issues in 2005, and Josh Connolly, who is a recovering alcoholic and is a father to four children discuss how families cope with alcoholism.
I fqn HATE my evil alcoholic father who sexualised me and my friends as teenagers, was given the green light by my family and I was ostracised for speaking the truth. He needed constant baby sitting and was enabled by my codependent mother who I come to find out is actually a covert narcissist herself! 3rd year no contact. Working through my issues, family scapegoat and chronic weed smoker. Hate alcohol with a passion. So angry at this patriarchy we live in - so angry at how codependent I am, so sick of wanting people’s approval, so angry at being blamed for my parents choices. Love to all ❤
I feel you so deeply and agree with you. I’m angry too. Many don’t even know how hard it is for children of the alcoholic to deal with them and how deeply it affects them. I hate my dad so much. I wish he didn’t live with us or left us when we were younger so that I could live peacefully. I have so so much anxiety because of him. I hate it.
well done to you,sounds like such a difficult situation and as you say pushing those sexual boundaries too and not being properly protected or nurtured by your mother.I wish you all the best and continued healing
Josh connelly is doing fabulous work. If you had of given him the mike he would of took over.The interviewer spoke to him as an alcoholic but actually hes a moden day hero
I recall telling my parents that I didn’t want a birthday party with alcohol around when I was 7. I was aware very early of my father’s addiction. He was a falling over, mean drunk. He hated me and I hated him. I have 8 and 4 year old boys myself now and I do my best to treat my wife with the love she deserves and we’ve been married ten years. She’s the sun to me. Because of her, I accepted and rose above the anger. I forgive him. I don’t feel the need to ever tell him that and I don’t see a path where I’ll attend his funeral. But I understand he was a product of his environment and it wasn’t personal. It can be incredibly difficult for adult males to navigate early adult life when their childhood involved extreme alcoholism. Suicide amongst this group is very high, especially those that are not involved in a spiritual tradition. I want anyone reading this that has a similar story to know that healing is possible and it starts with just what this video says, releasing the repressed anger. 💙 Plus finding what God means to YOU. Sending love to all!
