Produktbeschreibung
A reader wrote me, My father died of alcoholism. I remember the dread insecurity we all felt, as Dad was not a good provider and it was very hard on Mom. Like you, Mom was the strength and steading influence in her family. This was not always the case. For many years, without realizing it, I was 'feeding into" the problem. I was angry, resentful, full of self-pity, and wracked with guilt. I sat for hours every night, worrying about the problems in our family. When my children were in bed, I would stand in their doorway looking at them sleeping. I had been distracted and short-tempered, and I was overcome with guilt. They deserved so much better. I vowed to do better tomorrow, but tomorrow was more of the same. This book is the story of what turned me around, and I am convinced, saved my life, and the lives of my children.
Autorenporträt
Cathryn Dines participated in Twelve Step recovery groups for over thirty years. She also taught the principles for groups in her church and a detention center. The story of Karen Douglas and her family is based on real experience. The names have been changed, and the details of some incidences and circumstances have been altered to preserve privacy and anonymity of individuals. Cathryn now lives in Ottawa, close to her three children (her younger son, "Andrew" died of Multiple Sclerosis in 2019). Her four grandchildren are her greatest joy.
