Dr. Claudia Black's remarkable book designed specifically for children
growing up in families ravaged by addiction.
Children who grow up in addicted families usually learn at a very young
age that it is not safe for them to openly talk about their family
experiences. This updated edition of My Dad Loves Me, My Dad Has a
Disease gives children ages five to twelve the opportunity to work
through their feelings of loss, loneliness, fear, and frustration, both
verbally and through drawing exercises. Through sharing their thoughts
and feelings, children can develop a better understanding of addiction
and how it affects their parent(s).
Written from a child's point of view, this book has helped thousands of
children and is a springboard for children to understand their own
recovery process in a family ravaged by addiction.
