Adult Children - exploring the phenomena of emotional maturity in an unforgiving world
"Adult Children" of Alcoholics (or ACOA) refers to those raised by alcoholic or otherwise dysfunctional caregivers. Adult Children in recovery strive to go from relying on reactions learned in childhood to forming new habits suited to adult life. Recovery is an ongoing process with many paths and detours and side trips. Recovering from childhood issues can be a lifetime endeavor, but healing IS possible. This is not an ask reddit or advice reddit. This is a recovery community.
