Grandchildren
of Alcoholics: Another Generation of Co-dependency
(out of print, e-Book only available on CD or download
on-line)
by Ann W. Smith
Family pain can pass through
generations, from grandparent, to child, to
grandchild, in sometimes invisible ways. The
"Looking Good Family" is a concept Ann Smith
has developed to describe what happens when
dysfunction goes underground, and issues such as
Alcoholism skip a generation. Things are not always
what they seem and dysfunction can reappear in a new
form despite efforts to bury it. |
