    Adult Children of Alchoholics...

    Ok - here's my 2 cents worth - based on MY experiences. Everyone is different, remember and everyone responds to different therapies and therapists. In my case, I saw a psychiatrist (sp?) for 1.5 years with little or no help. After a lot of soul searching and after being 'sick and tired' of...
