I give up

Has someone suggested the book by Melody Beatty entitled "Codependent No More?" It was an eye-opener for me. I realized that growing up in an alcoholic home had made me very sick too - living with an alcoholic tends to do that to us. We are so filled with anger, fear, and resentment. We want to control things and want things to happen our way. The end result is throwing things and misery. I used to throw shoes and books - it was not a pretty sight. I also suggest Al-Anon. Best wishes!
