EdISBN : 1558749527Label : Health CommunicationsManufacturer : Health CommunicationsNumber of pages : 350Publication date : 2002-09-11Publisher : Health CommunicationsTitle : Perfect Daughters: Daughters of AlcoholicsLanguages : ArrayNumber of items : 1Studio : Health Communications Our dad has since died of 2 strokes brought on by alcholism, i bought this book for my sister and i, we had a troubled upbringing, if it wasn't for our mother we would have drowned in our dad's world. He had a tough life being the eldest of 9, my grandfather was hell to live with. This book brought out the best and worst of our personalities, i am the red crosser {always trying to help someone else}, whereas my sister is the perfectionist [everything has to be just so]. We cried when we read this book, we recognised ourselves, our personalities, life has been tough we were constantly put down so many times. We are managing our lives so much better now. READ this book and expect a rude awakening.
Excellent reading for women brought up in an alcoholic home or for those around her who want to understand her situation. It was enlightening, humerous and easy to read.
Not an easy book to be read but full of humanity, awareness and insight brought by all the personal experiences. I would highly recommend this reading not only to daughters of alcoholics and dysfunctional families but to everybody who wants to take her life in her hands.
