Good beginning:
debated over the purchase of this book for several months before I decided to purchase this book thanks to the previous reviews. I was not as impressed once I began to read it. But for those who are just beginning to research why they are adult children it will do.

This book was very helpful in helping recover as a ACOA. It was Insightful as to what I can do to change behaviors that I have learned becuase i lived with Alcoholic parents.
Very practical:
The skills taught in this book can be used from the day I read it.
Although there is enough number of books analyzing abuse, this book is different because it is so helpful in coping with life for adult children like me.
