In my Al Anon Adult Children of alcoholics we have been discussing the various characteristics of an adult child.
We have been puzzling over why we have such difficulty in completing a project. We all find we start out so enthusiastic, but it fizzles out, we lose interest.
Can it be because promises were broken by our alcoholic parent? I have a problem with this, as I don't recall any promises of something nice or exciting being made to me as a child for them to be broken.
Life was however unpredictable and uncertain and it was best to keep quiet and out of the way.
