76 Michelle Lange - The perfect daughter of an alcoholic parent: trying to win each day

Michelle Lange is the Perfect Daughter of an alcoholic parent. In turn she spends each day controlling the urge to want a drink and not become her father.In Michelle's words:  I have learned that I must function perfectly in order to avoid unpleasant situations.  I enjoy controlled chaos because I function best in a chaotic environment.  I do everything at 100%. I am a proud mother of 2 children and partner to my better half, Jason.  I am the athletic director of the Thames Valley Regional Athletic Association and I own my own Social Media freelance business. I am innovative and motivated with vast experience creating content and managing the online presence of small businesses.  I have a passion for engaging, inspiring, and informing the community through social media platforms which results in an active community of followers.  I have an overarching passion for women in athletics and advocating for youth in sport. Michelle's 3 top insights:  1. I overwork b/c I thrive in controlled chaos.  I get more done that most people in a 24 hour period 2. Trauma in my childhood has made it so that I have difficulty with true intimacy, I struggle to control my drinking (very good at functioning), and I feel that I lack necessary skills as a parent even though I had the best mother anyone could ask for. 3. Daughters of alcoholic fathers tend to lie when they don’t need to.  I am not sure why.  But I do this…. and for no reason.  I like to think of it more like embellishing facts…..I make a great storyteller sometimes…. but it’s not necessary.
