DESCRIPTION:
Always wondered? I'm 60+ years old and always wondered why in certain areas of my life I seemed to be just a 'cog off' in many of my thoughts and reactions to life. This book was one 'ah-ha' after another. I had worked through many of the 'glitches' on my own but it was a good feeling to finally understand from where they had come. Not in a blaming way, just in an understanding way. I would recommend it to anyone from an alcoholic family who 'wonders' why they react in ways t. Not Yomama said Covers Everything. Different from Woitiz's other books, this on covers the range of what could possibly be "wrong with" you. Before this series, it was impossible to figure out "what happened." Considering most adult children are highly functional, therapists are generally clueless. They don't believe you when you tell them you don't know or understand how or why other human beings work they way they do, or how to get what you want out of them (or when to go to another source!!. Valuable Analysis This was one of the most informative and helpful books I've read on the subject. It helped define the specific issues all ACOA's face and yet may not have realized were related to the experience.I'd highly recommend this book to all ACOA's and all of their family, friends or lovers that want to understand their loved one.
