“Having an alcoholic in the family makes you always want to fix people, doesn’t it? You feel like if you just try a little harder, things will improve. But then they don’t. And it makes you feel like you’re failing. Until you realize, finally, you have to stop trying to fix people. Except it’s so hard to make yourself stop. That’s the final irony, isn’t it? You become addicted to trying to be a superhero. That’s your fix. It’s sick.”
