Are there traits that indicate the long-term effects on children of alcoholic parents?
The childs concept of a normal life is distorted so severely that poor behavior continues into adulthood. Children in an alcoholic environment have difficulty following projects through to completion, often starting and stopping projects repeatedly. Their attempts to cover for their alcoholic parent(s) cause them to struggle with being truthful with others and themselves. In many cases, the children of alcoholic parents take everything too seriously and are overcritical of their own shortcomings. Having been robbed of their childhood innocence, they lack the ability to have fun and are unable to rid themselves of shame.
