I can say yes with complete certainty because, although my Dad was an alcoholic, my mother kept us completely stable and for the most part happy. I say for the most part because I had depressive/anxious tendencies even as a child, which my mom couldn't have helped. We were also blessed with the love and support of my grandparents on my Mom's side, and a large extended family. Stuff happened yes, but my mother had the backbone to overcome it. I was loved by the best.
