My dad is an alcoholic and bipolar. . .?

Question

Does this mean I have a higher chance of becoming an alcoholic or bipolar?

Answer 1

get all this nonsense off your mind. you are what you choose to be. and where are you getting all this information from?  

Answer 2

The tendency to be alcoholic is indeed higher for you. The way our bodies react to alcohol varies and some people do inherit that gene. It missed me but it hit my daughter, It is due to the way your body processes the alcohol.

Having watched your father should make you affirm to your self that you will never touch the stuff.

As for being BiPolar that is a chemical imbalance in the brain and the levels of serotonin secreted.

That being said you have a the same 50/50 chance of being struck by lightning or not or being hit by a car.

so do not worry excessively about it If you keep a bright outlook on life, You will be fine. Live for the moment the day and the future. Just be happy !

Answer 4

I dunno about the bipolar but alcoholism is not something genetic that you just inherit from a parent.  While you may be exposed to that environment all of the time you still have the power and the self will to NOT become an alcoholic yourself if that is what you are trying to avoid.

Standard message: You are master of your own destiny.

Answer 5

i am. so is my father.

so I'm guessing it could be possible.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, yes. The best thing for you to do is to educate yourself. That would be your best defense. It must be hard for you, living with a dad that is both.  Arm yourself with knowledge and you will come out winning.
