Family Alcoholism
The experience of growing up with alcoholism
creates problems that are often carried into adulthood. These may include low
self-esteem, difficulty with trust and intimacy, excessive fears and guilt,
anxiety and depression. Many adults from alcoholic/dysfunctional families are
successful in their work but find it difficult to experience enduring,
satisfying, intimate relationships.
Judy Osborne presents courses at the Brookline
Adult and Community Education Program and at The Cambridge Adult Education
Center and other institutions. These informational seminars examine the
experiences and behaviors common to individuals raised in alcoholic families and
look at how functional families work and how alcoholic families vary. The label
means many things to many people. These one-time seminars look at various
resources available for the recovery process leading to a fuller personal and
work life.
