I didn't know what an alcoholic /addict was.  I have married two of them.  One I ended with a divorce, the current one I have tolerated and survived with for 32 years.  I think today's kids are exposed to the addiction aspects in life, and hopefully will make better choices for themselves and partners.  I'm keeping an eye on my granddaughter, who is turning 14 in October.  Grateful member of alanon.
