I'd love to know what you think when you read it! It was recommended to me by one of our Facebook mutuals, and so far I think she was right on point in telling me about it.
Even though I didn't grow up with an alcoholic, I had some other experiences as a young child that have definitely shaped who I am and how I react as an adult today. There is so much of your childhood and teen years I wasn't there to witness, but I can empathize. I am so glad you are confronting this head-on. I also know it's easier to describe than to actually, consistently, put into practice. Every day, every hour, just about every minute, it's a choice to not go with the default. I am rooting for you.
I really do find it fascinating how the mind can bury some stuff so deeply in us that we can be so unaware of it. Some things are very obvious, but others take some work to connect the dots. But I really do think it's important to unearth and work through this stuff.
Going to check out this book you mentioned. Thank you. ❤️
