Key to a mystery,

This review is from: Adult Children of Alcoholics Syndrome: A Step By Step Guide To Discovery And Recovery (Paperback)
This book solved a painful problem for me. It helped me first to see beyond my abstinent parents to my grandparents' alcohol problems. Next it suggested that my father could leave the alcohol, but bring an intense behavior pattern from that context.Finally, the classic "silence, denial, isolation, rigidity" matched exactly the symptoms that developed around the apparently unrelated situation of a paralyzing medical injury to my mother. To see this coming from my father unlocked my own personal history. I read Kritsberg after both my parents were dead, but it has allowed me to begin dissolving my inherited patterns, revisiting my parents' lives with greater compassion, and feeling hope.

This review is from: Adult Children of Alcoholics Syndrome: A Step By Step Guide To Discovery And Recovery (Paperback)
Read it and tried its different suggestions for recovery. It didn't do anything. Nice introduction and nice theories but there are better books about recovery today. Its age is against it I guess.

This book opened my eyes and changed my view of the world!,

This review is from: Adult Children of Alcoholics Syndrome: A Step By Step Guide To Discovery And Recovery (Paperback)
I first read this book in 1986 as I was struggling to accept the fact that my father was an alcoholic. It helped me start to understand myself and begin a continuing journey of painful change. If I can leave no greater legacy to my children and their decendants it will be one of healthy understanding and acceptance of this insidious disease. I am still reading it and utilizing the applications it provides.
