It depends what level of school this is for. I wrote a good paper on the alcoholic-producing family in third year university.

Under the immediate family section, make sure you include topics like codependency. In the children/teens section, make sure you include the concept of the “parentified” child (the child taking over the parenting because the parent is too out of it from alcohol).

For heading III, do you means effects of alcoholism? Or effects of alcohol on all these people like you wrote? Because if your paper is on the effects of alcoholism on the family, I think this heading should be about how alcoholism of the alcoholic effects each group. Not the effects of alcohol on each group.

And if that section is about effects of alcoholism, is there a reason you are including a pregnant female as her own group? That could probably just be put under immediate family.
