My Daddy Drinks Too Much: Navigating Childhood With a Father Who Struggles With Alcohol Use Disorder is a powerful, deeply personal, and insightful exploration of the lifelong impact of growing up with an alcoholic father. Written for adult children of alcoholics (ACoAs), mental health professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the hidden scars of addiction, this book blends psychological insight, personal narratives, and healing strategies to offer hope and resilience.

For those who have felt trapped in the chaos, secrecy, and emotional neglect of an alcoholic home, My Daddy Drinks Too Much provides a compassionate roadmap for healing. It explores themes of trust issues, anxiety, hypervigilance, people-pleasing tendencies, codependency, and the challenges of breaking free from generational cycles of addiction. More importantly, it empowers readers with actionable strategies to reclaim their identity, build healthier relationships, and find peace beyond the shadows of their past.

Inside This Book, You'll Discover:

✅ The psychological and emotional impact of living with an alcoholic parent

✅ How childhood instability shapes adult relationships and self-worth

✅ The burden of responsibility-parentification and growing up too fast

✅ How to break free from shame, secrecy, and the need for perfectionism

✅ Practical tools for self-healing, boundary-setting, and emotional resilience

✅ How to break the cycle when raising your own children

Whether you are on your own healing journey, love someone struggling with addiction, or are a professional working with families affected by alcoholism, this book will provide invaluable insights and support. Healing is possible, and your past does not define your future.

Perfect for readers of: Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C. Gibson, Running on Empty by Jonice Webb, It Didn't Start With You by Mark Wolynn, and The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk.
