I have bipolar disorder- diagnosed at 33. Is part of that from being an ACOA? Who knows.[/QUOTE]

It's more likely that bipolar disorder runs in the family, and your dad self-medicated with alcohol...a psychiatrist co-worker of mine told me it's very common, and that he always asks about alcoholism in the family when making a diagnoses of BPD
