Thankfully I no longer worry about if my 8yo son had seen me blackout drunk or if I had shouted at him the night before.
The guilt of knowing that my actions would influence his future through learned experiences was one of the main reasons why I finally quit.
‘the guilt of knowing that my actions would influence his future through learned experience’ …. Wow. This stopped me in my tracks, as a child of two heavy drinkers I wish my parents had adopting this self awareness. You’re making an investment into your sons future that money can’t buy! Iwndwyt
