Welcome! :)

It's real, Allen. I've seen several behavioral theories discussed here that are in my psychology and behavioral science text books. The writing is like the author has experienced it though, that's why you connect with it and really understand it. I'm guessing they really have experienced it and/or they have a lot of experience dealing with people who have gone through it.

I'm still learning about the site myself, and am new here as well. I am really enjoying what I am reading so far though... it makes a lot more sense than long descriptions of behavior from a separatist, third person point of view.

Suggestions for learning more
by: Don Carter

Hi Allen, Thanks for your post! It gives me the opportunity to share with others several tips on getting started in Adult/Child Recovery:

1. Find a Forum for recovery... Whether it is here online, at an Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) or Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families (ACDF) meeting, a recovery group at church, or other place where people are doing the same thing that you want to do.

2. Get the Basic Text of Adult Children of Alcoholics and other Dysfunctional Families. You can find the book on this website: http://www.adultchildren.org/lit/Handbook.s

3. Read the material on this website, ask questions here at the forums, share your experiences with others, give feedback and support to others, etc.

4. Consider joining my online group for an introduction to Adult/Child recovery, Inner Child Work, and working with ego-states. (Soon to be announced)

5. Read "the Iceberg" on this website (http://www.internet-of-the-mind.com/abandonment.html) and other recovery oriented books.

6. Attend workshops and seminars when you get a chance.

7. "Easy Does It"... take your time, give yourself room to grow, and be open to feedback & support.
