I wonder how many "adult children of alcoholics" have "hypervigilance" as a symtom. I sure do. Anxiety is a big component of my depressive episodes. So I take various anxiolytics to help turn down the ol' brain, which was raised and formed in that "partial reinforcement schedule" of substance abuse in the home. I'm sorry for the original poster who spoke of having a bad step dad come into his early life. Geez, I'm a mom and I would *never* allow a step dad to even speak roughly to my child. (Luckily I'm happily married.) Step parents can be sometimes be better than the original parent, but a lot of times they can be worse.
