The trauma and grief of growing up in an alcoholic or addicted family create a lifetime of baggage. If you grew up in an addicted family, the dysfunction that permeated every aspect of your childhood may have seemed "normal", and you may not even realize the level of affect alcohol still has on your adult life - whether or not you drink. If you are one of the millions of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOAs), the cost of your childhood pain can be unbearable. You may have learned how to "survive", but are you "living" your life?

This book is terrible.
The narrator sounds like he’s on Quaaludes.
The book is written for a 12-year-old with developmental delays.
Truly it’s ridiculous
What a complete waste of money.
It is so bad that I have never written a review before but here is mine

Book itself was of some help, BUT!
Aside from the laughably useless examples offered on active listening with the “ok, anything else” which would surely come off as flippant, or the “broken record” skill with 8 “NO” responses in a row which would do nothing to resolve a real-life conflict, the book did have some helpful ideas and skills to apply. The biggest negative is the narrator’s delivery. We are adult children but this is performed as if to literal children with oddly chosen voice inflection throuout the entire book. It was entirely distracting. Just be aware of that before choosing the audio version. For me, I feel I wasted a credit on this audio book; may have learned something to try in next conflict, but the frustration with the delivery of that knowledge still lingers.

important material but narrator ruins the delivery
Why do some narrator's think it's necessary to try and mimic the voice of a female or child when they're reading a conversation in the book? It is really hard to pay attention to the message when the narrator is trying to sound like a woman but is failing miserably and as one reviewer illiterates perfectly, "it sounds like the narrator is on quaaludes." 😂😂
