Is your partner an adult child of an alcoholic (ACOA)? Are you struggling with your relationship? Children of alcoholics develop patterns of behavior during childhood that carry over into adult life. As children they were taught to cover up the family secret and suppress their feelings, and as adults, no matter what's going on, they'll always tell you they're fine. Distrust, fear of abandonment, and sensitivity to criticism are all major issues for ACOAs. Loving an Adult Child of an Alcoholic will help you recognize and change the patterns that cause problems and it will help you and your partner enjoy a deeper relationship. Book jacket.
