  • Excellent show about living as an adult child of an alcoholic

    I didn’t think this podcast would speak to me as much as it does. TBH, my parents weren’t alcoholics. Or at least, I never saw them drink, or saw them drunk. But they still had a terrible effect on me. So it’s good to listen to people looking a our shared condition from this perspective. Very helpful.

  • Honest Talking

    Thank you and well done girls for speaking about an oddly complex subject. There are so many children who just want to wave a white flag out the window and say get me out of this situation, but the reality is they say nothing and it’s goes on for decades.

    I’m still waiting for my phone call 😊
