ARE YOU AN UNTREATED ADULT-CHILD OF FAMILY DYSFUNCTION?

Jan 27, 2020

Did you grow up in a highly dysfunctional family or environment?

Maybe you grew up in a home with active alcoholism or addiction, or some other form of serious family dysfunction?

How about your parents or primary caretakers and others who had direct contact with and influence over you? Did they?

Was active alcoholism, addiction or severe family dysfunction an issue in your extended family? Ever?

Maybe your parents didn't drink to excess, or maybe they did...

Either way, IF they grew up in a family where alcoholism or another form of addiction or severe dysfunction was the general climate…

And…

IF the effects of growing up in that environment have been left unhealed and gone untreated, generation after generation…

Make no mistake...

You've been affected by the family “dis-ease”

Perhaps more than you realize.

Below are some important questions to ponder.

Let’s see if you relate to any of the following…

- Are you highly reactive? Easily excitable?

- Do you often find yourself guessing at what “normal” behavior is?

- Do you judge and criticize yourself without mercy?

- Do you tend to start many things but have difficulty following through and finishing what you begin?

- Do you take yourself very seriously?

- Do you have difficulty having fun?

- Do you have difficulty with intimate relationships?

- Do you tend to over-react to changes over which you have no control?

- Do you seek external approval, validation, and affirmation? In particular, from people who are unwilling (or unable) to give it to you?

- Do you perpetually feel like you just don't fit in? Like you are different from other people? Like you don't belong?

- Do you feel overly responsible?

- Are you often highly irresponsible?

- Do you tend to either overreact or underreact?

- Do you struggle to know what is an appropriate response or proportionate reaction?

- Do you struggle to set healthy, functional boundaries with others?

- Do you feel guilty when you stand up for yourself?

- Do you often feel like you need to defend yourself?

- Are you often confused? Overwhelmed?

- Do you carry shame?

- Do you grapple with irrational fear?

- Are you extremely loyal, even in the face of evidence that the loyalty is undeserved and detrimental to your well-being?

- Are you attracted to people that you can pity or rescue?

- Are you controlling?

- Are you impulsive?

- Are you compulsive?

- Do you often feel isolated or lonely, even when surrounded by people?

- Do you struggle with self-confidence and self-esteem, and knowing who you really are?

- Do you feel lost? Stuck?

- Are you highly sensitive to any perceived criticism?

- Are you perfectionistic?

- Have you struggled with addiction yourself?

- Do you tend to attract alcoholics, addicts or otherwise empathy-deficient and troubled people into your life?

- If you were dirt honest with yourself, would you have to admit that you’re addicted to excitement? Drama? Fear? Chaos?

- Is your life predominantly characterized by pain and struggle?

- Do you use denial as a coping mechanism or a survival strategy?

- Do you use food, work, shopping, sex, TV, gambling, drinking, drugging, gossip, or any other form of “escapism” to self-medicate in order to cope with and survive your difficult reality?

- Do you lie to yourself?

- Do you lie to others?

- Are you terrified of being abandoned?

- Do you make important life decisions based on fear rather than faith?

Here’s the thing…

The effects of growing up in an alcoholic or otherwise highly dysfunctional family environment are very real and often painful and debilitating.

These effects follow us into our adult life and relationships with serious negative consequences on our personal lives, our professional lives, our health, and overall wellness, not to mention our ability to attract healthy, loving, people into our lives.

Rather than continuing to allow the quality of our lives to be governed by the unresolved issues of our unhealthy and often painful family and childhood experiences, and the generational “dis-ease” that was the root cause of it all…

It's vital that we begin to recognize it for what it is, so we can begin to change, heal and recover

We do this in order to prevent the dysfunction, trauma, and pain of our past from continuing to negatively influence our present and our future.
