5.0 out of 5 stars Such a relief!, 2 Feb 2006
By A Customer
I have spent my life suffering from self-doubts, depression, feelings of inadequacy. I recently went for my first counselling session, and was told that what I was describing was typical of a child of an alcoholic. I decided to read up on it - and finding this book was SUCH a relief. It made me cry because it describes ME. It also made me angry - with myself and with others close to me - because i wish I'd addressed all these issues years ago, then maybe my life wouldn't have been such an uphill struggle. But it has given me hope - my problems are not unique, I'm not alone in the feelings I have, and hopefully now that I've realised that I can do something about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I never understood why I did the things I did., 10 May 1999
By A Customer
I never understood why I did the things I did. I was given this book back in 1989 by my high school chaplain who explained that she too went through the same problems. Since then I have had an easier time dealing with my issues because this book tells me exactly what my issues are and why I have them. It is still hard to explain them to my husband, coworkers, and friends, however-it does not matter as much anymore-I have regained my confidence and have more self-control of my life. Today I bought my best friend a copy, no wonder we get along so well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anyone from a dysfunctional family should read this book!!!, 29 Jan 1998
By A Customer
Catagorized as a adult child of a child of an alcoholic, the effect is just as devastating. For 38 years, life seemed so restless and tormenting. This book was an extreme help in spelling out the feelings that were felt but could not be put into words by an adult child who learned to shut out all emotions. A healing process begins as the tears begin to flow. This book is excellent! Thank you Janet.
