Alcoholics Families: How Were You Raised and How Will/did /are You Raising Your Children?

Question by ??’? ??? g??? ???? ??? ??z??: How were you raised and how will/did /are you raising your children?
I’m 14 and have to write a paper about it for Parenting&Child dev. so I thought I’d hear a few stories for help. I need some help though. We have to write about our childhood and how our parents brought us up and I really don’t want to. It would be inappropriate. (I don’t feel like telling everyone about my drug addicted mother and alcoholic father and the abuse and stuff)

I know what you mean. My step dad beat me, my mom allowed it, and my real dad just thought I was lying. He changed his tune, though, when the cops called him to pick me up from the hospital at 3am on my 16th birthday because my step dad had beaten me so badly. I’m older now, married, with my own daughter and I can tell you that I can’t even bring myself to spank her! She’ll probably be a bit spoiled, but I never intend to tell her exactly why.
