The first 40 mins are the best

Is that audio link is broken?

I just checked it and it was working fine.

Hi Avery,

I winced when I read that your therapist labelled your dad.  I think labels can be useful AFTER much discussion about the behaviors that trouble us...after all, it is the behavior and not what we call it that really matters.  I tend to get confused between codependency, ACOA, so-called "dry" alcoholics, etc.  The crazymaker in my life doesn't drink but she sure acts like a textbook problem alcoholic.  It turns out she is a narcissist.  She disguised it pretty well for a long time...

Anyway, you might want to share how you feel when you are alone with your mother and also how you feel when you are alone with your dad to help sort out what goes on within your family, with your therapist.  Your mother may have some controlling behavior in response to the presence of drinking (trying to keep this separate from your dad here...)  

Well, just some things to think about...hope it helps.  Don't be surprised if this is all a bit mind-bending at first.  Good luck with your journey.  S.
