Adult children of alcoholics

A heavy burden

From evliving.com

Dear Amy: Recently, my mother passed away and ever since then my father has been overly critical of everything I do. This is not a new phenomenon, but rather this is something that has been happening ever since I was fourteen. I was a good student in school, rarely gave anyone a problem, and silently put up with disrespect and hurtful comments from other family members all the while seething underneath.
