Adult Children of Alcoholics & Addicts Group
Putting the Pieces Back Together
Many "adult children" grew up in homes where the family avoided sharing feelings. There was little nurturing, rigid rules, and little time or energy was given to meeting the emotional needs of the children. "Adult children" often have unresolved pain that is still impacting their lives in ways that they would like to change.
