In the AA book ‘AAComes of Age’ Cocreator Bill Wilson says that when getting down to ‘causes and conditions’ to our alcoholism eventually we should visit Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families due this reason more than anything else We were likely borne in it and perceive the Dysfunctional behaviors as ‘NORMAL’ … yet it is not healthy. The parents are not to blame but just passing on an emotional inheritance of unhealthy dysfunctional life. Besides, to ‘Blame’ is to B-Lame’. I recover my dysfunctional childhood carrying within me my emotional child and reparent him everyday - this is how we recover from ‘Arrested Development’ of childhood trauma, grief, and abuse or neglect.
