Summary
Grandchildren of alcoholics don't always know their parents are adult children of alcoholics, nor do they appreciate what this means for them. Adult children of alcoholics have been raised feeling ignored, invisible, and in fear due to unpredictable homelife experiences. They generally do not know how to have fun, or how to let go. Feeling such a loss of personal power as children causes them to become rigid in their thinking, which leads to the need for control. Adult children of alcoholics often struggle with needing to be needed, with fixing and rescuing others, which are classic signs of codependency. In this episode, listen in to how Lisa A. Romano helps us understand the importance of recognizing how our parent's childhoods have impacted how they have parented us, and what that means if we discover we too struggle with codependency traits and symptoms.

| 1:09.6 | through life and we don't even know that we're |
| 1:11.6 | unaware. We're unaware, we're unaware. We go through life thinking that the thoughts that are in |
| 1:17.0 | our head are ours alone as if we generated thoughts. And we very rarely question where are the |
| 1:23.7 | thoughts originating? Where did they come from? What are their basis? What is their basis? |
| 1:30.3 | Well, we aren't taught to like question our belief systems. Well, why do I believe that? Why don't |
| 1:36.1 | I believe in that? Like, what's going on? Where do these beliefs come from? Why am I codependent? Why am I a fixer? Why don't I know how I feel? Why don't I go after my |
