Alcoholism is a family disease - Times-Standard Online
Alcoholism can be a multi-generational disease, wherein family members from different generations develop and repeat dysfunctional family relationships over decades. The children of today's alcoholic parents may become the parents of tomorrow's alcoholic children. Breaking multi-generational patterns of co-dependency is difficult. This system is fiercely resistant to change. Family members seeking help may be exiled from the family. Or, their cry for help may be sabotaged by other family members seeking to maintain equilibrium in the family.
