From the Publisher
There is nothing wrong with you, but there is something missing
Adult children of alcoholics: adults who are chronologically adults but whose emotional growth has been disrupted because they come from profoundly troubled families.
In a functional family the adults teach younger members the skills they need to “do life”. In a dysfunctional family those skills were never learned.
Woititz and Garner teach you the skills you need to make life work including how to:
– meet people and make friends.
– identify your feelings and express them.
– set up boundaries and defend them.
– work out your problems with others.
– handle criticism.
– end visits, conversations or relationships.
