Hi Floss, no the thread I posted was about a different book - 'Why does he do that'. I just linked to it because I talk about my family life in it and didn't want to type it all out again!

Neither of my parents are alcoholics Freedom but my paternal grandfather was one by all accounts. The gift that keeps on giving...

Being able to identify as an adult child is opening my eyes to a lot of things. I will have to go to the start of 'Becoming Your Own Parent' again I think and read it 'properly'. Another book recommended on this forum (for adult children I think) is 'The Journey from Abandonment to Healing' which is also sitting on my shelf. I don't know why I'm so reluctant to identify these traits within me - I'm clinging hard to my denial. I've wrestled with depression for so many years - it's one of the reasons that passage really struck home.

Sometimes (like around about now) I get so overwhelmed by everything I 'need' to do. How do I know where to start? How did you?
