Interesting business about invisibility - I'd never heard of that as a thing children of alcoholics become sensitive to. (That's scarcely surprising; I've actually avoided looking into children-of-alcholics issues, I guess because although my dad was alcoholic I never had any feeling that it was a big deal growing up.)

One thing I know I'm sensitive to is the sense that nobody would notice if I weren't around. I don't think I seek the spotlight at all - I'm actually kind of reclusive - yet I do definitely want people to notice if I'm not there. If I disappeared, would anyone notice? I tend to take a "no" or "not much" answer as evidence for worthlessness...

yet sometimes I *do* want to be invisible... but I guess that happens to everyone in a situation they'd rather not be in!
