Adult Children of Alcoholics
ACOA's frequently stay in abusive situations. Abusers may be parents, employers, spiritual
advisors, lovers, spouses, friends, sponsors or yes, therapists. Abuse arises from
a sick need, (frequently of someone who was also abused) to control, vent anger,
boost a sick ego, or to stamp out signs of health, dissension, independence, love,
kindness, or joy--expressions which the abuser resents or doesn't understand and may
thus label as "weakness".
