From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I know it cause I lived it, and have tried to work through it in therapy. Actually made some good progress until ... things... set me back a bit. A lot a bit.

Anyway, this book helped https://www.amazon.com/dp/0757316441

I highly recommend it.

The short answer is, yes.

It can be really hard to understand what’s going on with you emotionally when your caregiver was an alcoholic. They most likely didn’t validate or acknowledge your feelings because in order for a dysfunctional family to “work” they needed you to believe their behavior is normal. This book really helped me understand my own experience and how it effected me. You might find it helpful too.
