This revised edition of a landmark work from the recovery movement looks at adult daughters of alcoholics and the patterns they often share. Drawing on the experiences of about twelve hundred women, the author shows how many grew up believing they had to be flawless to stay safe, and how that belief shapes their view of themselves and the world. These women often take on blame for other people's failures, are drawn to partners who misuse substances, and face a higher risk of addiction themselves.
