Hey AngryMale,

I read your story, and I can totally understand why you're pissed off at your family. To start I would like to tell you that I do think you seem to have a rather serious alcohol problem, and you probably should do something about it, like entering the 12 step program, etc. It seems many of the issues in your family stem from a denial of reality, if you want to break the pattern, you should deal more seriously with your alcohol problem.

And that's just the beginning of your quest. You have developed a huge pile of issues, and it will take some time to deal with them. Nevertheless, the fact that you're back in education is a good sign, it's really crucial for you to become autonomous. As for socializing, doesn't your education, or your jobs give you the opportunity to interact with people? How does that work?

Finally, in regards to your past and your family, you have to keep your anger under control, because nothing positive comes out of that. For sure you can't ignore the anger that you have built up, but don't let it control you. Remember that since you have left your family home you're under your own responsibility, so don't push everything into your parent's fault, that kind of behavior can really cripple your future. Don't hesitate to come back here to comment on how you are doing.
